Trojan Lithium Batteries

Trojan also offers Trojan Lithium-Ion Batteries, which provide longer lifespan, faster charging, and maintenance-free operation compared to lead-acid batteries.

Key Features of Trojan Lithium Batteries:

  • Voltage Options: Available in 24V, 48V, and 72V configurations
  • Chemistry: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) – safer and longer-lasting than other lithium chemistries
  • Cycle Life: Up to 10x longer than flooded lead-acid (3,500–5,000 cycles)
  • Charging Speed: Up to 4x faster than lead-acid
  • Weight: 60% lighter than lead-acid equivalents
  • Maintenance: No watering required
  • Integrated Battery Management System (BMS): Protects against overcharging, deep discharge, and temperature fluctuations

Advantages of Trojan Lithium vs. Flooded Lead-Acid:

Feature Lead-Acid (T-105, T-875, T-1275) Trojan Lithium
Maintenance Requires watering and cleaning Maintenance-free
Cycle Life 1,500–2,000 cycles 3,500–5,000 cycles
Charging Time 6–8 hours 2–3 hours
Weight Heavy (60–80 lbs) 60% lighter
Depth of Discharge (DOD) 50% recommended 80–100% usable
Cost Lower upfront cost Higher initial investment, lower long-term cost

Which One Should You Choose?

  • If you need a cost-effective solution and don’t mind maintenance: Choose T-105, T-875, or T-1275
  • If you want long lifespan, fast charging, and no maintenance: Choose Trojan Lithium
