– “Technological advances in OEM-manufactured products place even greater
demands on battery performance,” said Gordon Beckley, senior vice president of
engineering for Trojan Battery Co.,
Santa Fe Springs, Calif. "These new advances, coupled with aggressive use, have
created a need for a more robust battery." To meet this need, Trojan Battery Co.
announced it has introduced T2 Technology to its most popular flooded, deep
cycle golf, renewable energy, floor machine, AWP, marine and RV batteries.
Trojan’s T2 Technology integrates a series of refinements that enhance
performance characteristics, resulting in a more robust battery
design.
Engineered to
address the increasing performance demands of advancing OEM requirements, T2
Technology builds upon Trojan’s historically-proven technology and incorporates
improvements in electrochemical processing and battery design to achieve maximum
sustained performance and deliver more total energy. Improvements include
enhancements in Alpha Plus Paste and the Maxguard separator
design.
Alpha Plus Paste
with T2 Technology
A key component
influencing battery performance is the strength and mechanical characteristics
of the active material contained within the battery. Trojan’s Alpha Plus Paste
is a proprietary, high-density paste formulation engineered for enhanced
electrochemical processing and structural integrity. This high-density paste
optimizes porosity development utilizing the active material more efficiently
resulting in sustained battery performance over a longer battery life. Trojan’s
T2 Technology takes the structural integrity of Alpha Plus Paste and introduces
Trojan’s patent-pending T2 metal agent. The metallic composition of Alpha Plus
Paste with T2 Technology achieves an optimal balance between larger and smaller
crystals resulting in a uniform structure.
This refined structure further enhances Alpha Plus Paste’s porosity
development resulting in a battery that delivers more sustained capacity and
higher total accumulated ampere-hours. Additionally, the metallic composition
enhances electrical conductivity for improved electrical
performance.
Maxguard T2
Separator
Exclusively available
in Trojan batteries is Trojan’s Maxguard T2 advanced separator, which features a
multi-rib geometry that keeps acid channels open longer, enhancing
electrochemical processing while reducing the risk of stratification. The
Maxguard T2 Separator features a proprietary rubber-based material formulation,
which inhibits antimony transfer between the positive and negative grids. T2
Technology increases the thickness of the separator back web by 15 percent,
strengthening the structural integrity of the separator. This reinforced back
web provides longer separator life and protects against degradation caused by
temperature fluctuations; this feature is especially important in hotter climate
regions where higher heat can increase separator
degradation.
Availability and
Warranty
Full
production of Trojan’s T2 Technology batteries will begin in June, and products
will be available to the worldwide master distributor network at that time. In the United States and Canada Trojan
will offer an 18-month limited warranty on its most popular batteries, including
the T105, T105+, T875, T1275 and T1275+.
