Celebrating 100 Years of Trojan Battery
Trojan Battery, an acclaimed global leader in deep-cycle battery and lithium-ion technology, is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Established in 1925, the company has consistently transformed various industries by providing innovative battery solutions, from powering golf carts to supporting renewable energy systems. As Trojan reflects on a century of achievements, it looks ahead to a future rich with possibilities in energy storage.
Roots of Innovation
The foundation of Trojan Battery can be traced back to a small automotive battery repair shop initiated by
George Godber and
Carl Speer. Their commitment to quality and innovation laid the groundwork for what would become a remarkable legacy in the battery industry. In 1952, Trojan revolutionized the electric golf cart sector by introducing the first deep-cycle golf car battery, forever changing how golf carts are powered.
Throughout the decades, the company has made significant technological advancements, solidifying its leadership in the battery market. Notable milestones include the introduction of the
Maxguard® Advanced Design Separator in the 1980s, which greatly enhanced battery lifespan and performance. The establishment of the
Santa Fe Springs Technology Center in 1992 marked another pivotal point in Trojan's history, positioning itself as a hub for pioneering research and development.
Recent Innovations and Achievements
In recent years, Trojan Battery has continued to push forward with groundbreaking products, including the award-winning maintenance-free
AES AGM batteries, which boast up to three times the cycle life of standard AGM batteries. Additionally, the launch of
Trojan Lithium 24V and 48V GC2 batteries has enabled customers to travel further and charge quicker without maintenance. A highlight of 2024 was the introduction of the
Lithium OnePack™ 48V battery, which offers an impressive 60-mile range on a single charge, aimed particularly at enhancing the performance of golf carts and utility fleets.
Trojan's commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed; the company has received numerous accolades, including the
2023 Gold LLEAP Award for leadership in lift equipment. Their AES AGM batteries were also named
Product of the Year by the
International Awards for Powered Access in 2024, underscoring Trojan's ongoing influence in battery technology.

Trojan Battery's dedication to innovation is complemented by a strong commitment to sustainability. The company integrates reclaimed materials into its lead-acid batteries, which are 99% recyclable. This initiative not only fosters a greener planet but also promotes responsible recycling practices among customers. Continual investments in manufacturing innovations aim to minimize carbon footprints, adhering to Trojan’s core values of environmental stewardship.
With over 600 global dealers, Trojan Battery is well-equipped to respond to the needs of its customers and provide unparalleled support, reinforcing its stature as a worldwide power solutions leader.
