U.S. Battery celebrates 100 years

U.S. Battery is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026.

A century later, U.S. Battery said it continues to honour this legacy through itsportfolio of energy solutions, including its Flooded Lead-Acid (FLA) and AGM deep-cycle batteries, as well as the newly developed Essential Li line of Lithium-ion batteries.

Utilizing the latest technologies, U.S. Battery has designed it latest FLA batteries to remain a cost-effective option, offering longer run times, quicker cycling to full capacity, and nearly 100% recyclability.
