East Penn Manufacturing Company Inc.s Powr MateTM uses four heavy-duty cycle golf car type batteries, in series, to provide a 24 V unit which has an on board, capacity-matched charger. The battery can be plugged into any 15 Amp, 120 Volt AC outlet to eliminate the need for a remote, centralized charging area. The gelled electrolyte battery is spillproof, leakproof and significantly reduces gassing corrosion.
Recently, East Penn and Banner GmbH of Linz, Austria formed a joint venture company, BannerEast PennBattery Services GmbH to enlarge both companies service in North America and Europe.
