Battery Builders launches Power+ Battery Line, extends warranty to 4 years for fast and opportunity charge applications.

Naperville, IL – Wednesday, August 26, 2026 – Battery Builders (BBI) has announced the launch of Power+, a new lead-acid battery line built for high-capacity material handling operations. Alongside the launch, BBI is extending its warranty for fast and opportunity charge applications to 4 years, an additional year beyond its previous coverage.

Power+ is built for operations that need more capacity and more power out of every charge cycle — fleets running heavier loads, longer shifts, and tighter schedules, where a battery that can’t keep pace becomes the bottleneck for everything else.

“Some operations run lean and others run heavy; not every battery solution is the perfect fit for every application. With the addition of Power+, we can better serve our customers who need a different solution.” said John Gaughan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Battery Builders.

“When your fleet is moving more weight, more pallets, and more product per shift, your batteries need to keep up without slowing down or wearing out early. That’s exactly what Power+ was built for.” Power+ was developed for operations where load, duty cycle, and run time push standard batteries to their limit. The new line delivers increased power capabilities so equipment can handle heavier demands across a full shift, without the drop-off that forces early swaps or extra charging — giving fleet managers the reliability of lead-acid construction and the higher output their operation needs, without compromise.

Fast and opportunity charging puts more stress on batteries than a standard charge cycle. Operations that rely on these charging methods need equipment they can trust to hold up, and a warranty that reflects that reality.

“Extending our fast and opportunity charge warranty coverage to 4 years is a direct statement about how Power+ is built and how confident we are in its performance under real operating conditions, not just in testing,” Gaughan added. “It’s coverage that matches how hard the battery is working.”

Power+ is built on the same proven lead-acid construction BBI customers already know how to service, so there’s no learning curve and no change to existing maintenance programs. This battery line includes a new 4-year warranty for fast and opportunity charge operations while maintaining BBI’s standard 5-year warranty for conventional charge applications.

The Power+ line will be available for order starting Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Reach out to our team to learn more details about the specifications of Power+.
