Ohio-based Crown Battery Manufacturing Company introduces the world’s most advanced batteries designed specifically for solar, wind, and microhydro systems. Crown’s renewable energy (RE) batteries provide longer life, increased reliability, higher performance, enhanced configurability, lower maintenance, and safe and easy handling – features only automated manufacturing can deliver.
Hal Hawk, CEO and President, says, “Our company took a major step to reduce its carbon footprint by using solar and wind energy in manufacturing operations. In addition, we use high-tech assembly methods for longer life and better performance. Our battery recycling program ensures our customers’ spent batteries help make more batteries. Crown Battery is committed to renewable energy from manufacturing to recycling. We’re not just making batteries – we’re making a difference.”
Crown’s high-tech, flexible manufacturing uses robotic assembly for unmatched precision and uniformity and delivers lifespan-enhancing design features low-tech competitors can’t copy. Statistical process control, vision systems, and system-integrated work cells ensure excellent quality.
All things being equal, batteries with heavier plates and more active lead material will last longer – the primary concern in RE systems. Explains John Connell, Vice President of the SLI Products Group, “We have the industry’s heaviest, thickest plates, and Crown’s propriety LifePlus active lead material leads the industry in lead per ampere-hour of rated capacity, ensuring longer discharge and more cycles.”
