READING, Pennsylvania, April 24, 2018 – EnerSys® (NYSE:ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, is pleased to announce that its premium NexSys® Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) batteries are now available as a factory-installed option on Motrec’s full range of electric industrial vehicles. Motrec heavy-duty vehicles are used by leading manufacturers in dozens of industries to support a wide range of production and passenger transportation applications.
“We are happy to help Motrec give their customers a highly reliable, cost-effective battery option for its entire heavy-duty vehicle line,” said Tim Wittig, National Sales Manager at EnerSys. “NexSys® batteries deliver long, virtually maintenance-free lifecycles, key benefits that Motrec vehicle users in automotive, heavy manufacturing and other demanding industries can use to help cut costs.”
NexSys® batteries deliver three times the lifecycle of conventional sealed batteries, offering a flexible, virtually maintenance-free energy solution for industrial electric utility vehicles. The rugged construction of NexSys® batteries features Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) separators for extreme shock and vibration resistance, making them well suited for heavy-duty, high-use applications. Classified as non-spillable electric storage batteries, NexSys® TPPL batteries are constructed with 99 percent pure lead and provide unmatched performance across a wide range of temperatures, also making them ideal for cold storage applications.
“‘Innovation’ and ‘Productivity’ are among our key company pillars and NexSys® batteries certainly support both,” said Robin Charest, Director of Sales and Business Development at Motrec. “Selecting the NexSys® battery option for their electric vehicle fleets will give our customers another tool to help them reduce maintenance and boost productivity. Motrec offers unbeatable industrial vehicles, rugged trailers and now quality batteries through our new partnership with EnerSys – all under the same roof, factory installed.”

Depending on battery ampere hours and the charger, NexSys® batteries can be fully recharged in as little as two hours and are designed for opportunity charging multiple times per day. Resulting benefits may include long battery life and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). NexSys® batteries have a shelf life of up to two years at 68˚F and typically occupy up to 30 percent less space than the equivalent lead-calcium batteries due to the thin plate design’s high energy density properties.
