Established in 1987, Battery Energy commenced as a specialist battery development and manufacturing company.
From the outset, our objective was to develop maintenance-free GEL battery technology which would substantially increase battery life in harsh climatic conditions. Over the years, Battery Energy’s technology has been significantly enhanced through research, ongoing development and improved proprietary manufacturing techniques.
Today, we offer and design a complete range of industrial batteries with the technical expertise and flexibility to adapt existing products to suit our client’s needs, focusing on optimising clients’ investments, while delivering a world-leading solution.
Battery Energy is an award-winning, market leader in energy storage and is the only industrial GEL battery manufacturer in Australia. Our integrated manufacturing and support facility in Sydney is now bolstered by increased capacity through dual manufacturing capability in the South of China.
Headquarters and manufacturing facility set up in Sydney, Australia. Commenced the production of reliable Australian battery technology.
