Advanced Features

AC Series Engineering Specifically designed for floor machine and aerial work platform applications. Delivers optimal balance of high performance and competitive price point while maintaining Trojan's renowned durability and reliability standards.

UT (Universal Terminal) Designed for high-current conductivity and versatile connection options. Simplifies wiring in series for 24V, 36V, or 48V systems, providing secure, low-resistance electrical connections for demanding applications.

Integrated Handles Essential safety feature given the battery's substantial 104 lb weight. Integrated handles facilitate safe installation and replacement in tight compartments, reducing injury risk during handling and maintenance.

370Ah High Capacity Exceptional energy storage in the vertical L16 footprint. Provides maximum power for applications requiring extended runtime and substantial energy reserves between charging cycles.

L16 Vertical Footprint Proven L16 (903 group size) configuration optimized for vertical space efficiency. Standard footprint ensures compatibility with equipment designed for L16 batteries across multiple industries.

Heavy-Duty Construction Robust design withstands the demands of industrial environments, frequent deep cycling, and sustained high-current discharge applications typical of heavy-duty equipment.

Maintenance Requirements

The L16E-UT is a flooded lead-acid battery requiring regular watering with distilled water to maintain optimal performance and maximize lifespan. Check water levels every 2-4 weeks depending on usage and charging patterns. Must be shipped and stored upright to prevent acid spillage.

System Configuration & Handling

Multi-Battery Systems: The L16E-UT is a 6V battery typically configured in series for higher voltage systems:

• 12V systems: Two batteries in series
• 24V systems: Four batteries in series (common for solar)
• 36V systems: Six batteries in series
• 48V systems: Eight batteries in series (industrial equipment)

Critical Handling Considerations: At 104 lbs per battery, the L16E-UT is among the heaviest units in the Trojan lineup. Proper lifting equipment and techniques are essential. Complete systems can weigh 416-832 lbs depending on configuration, requiring pallet shipping and specialized freight handling (LTL). Two-person lift minimum recommended.

Shipping & Safety Notes

Extreme Weight: At 104 lbs per battery, shipments require specialized freight handling rather than standard parcel service. Multiple batteries necessitate pallet shipping and LTL freight arrangements.

Spill Risk & Upright Positioning: Contains liquid sulfuric acid and must be kept upright during transport, storage, and installation at all times. Acid spillage can cause severe damage to equipment, facilities, and personnel.

Freight Handling: Due to weight and hazardous materials classification, shipping costs are significant. Multiple batteries require professional freight services, loading dock access, and proper material handling equipment.

Why Choose the L16E-UT?

When maximum capacity in a 6V platform is essential, the L16E-UT delivers unmatched energy storage with 370Ah capacity—significantly exceeding standard deep-cycle batteries. The AC Series design provides optimal performance for floor machines and aerial work platforms, while the Universal Terminal ensures versatile, high-current connections. For large-scale solar installations, heavy-duty industrial equipment, and applications demanding substantial energy reserves, the L16E-UT represents Trojan's premium high-capacity solution. Integrated handles facilitate safer handling of this substantial battery, while proven L16 footprint ensures broad equipment compatibility.

AC Series Value Proposition

The AC Series is strategically positioned to deliver high performance at competitive price points for floor machine and aerial work platform markets. While maintaining Trojan's legendary durability and quality standards, the AC Series offers cost-effective solutions for professional operations seeking reliable deep-cycle performance without premium pricing.

Installation & Maintenance Considerations

Professional Installation Recommended: Due to extreme weight (104 lbs per battery) and system complexity, professional installation is strongly recommended. Improper installation can damage equipment, create safety hazards, or void warranties.

Adequate Ventilation Required: Flooded batteries produce hydrogen gas during charging. Ensure installation areas have proper ventilation to prevent hydrogen accumulation. Never install in completely sealed compartments.

Proper Charging Equipment: Verify charging equipment is configured for flooded lead-acid batteries with appropriate voltage profiles for 6V batteries. Incorrect charger settings will damage batteries and void warranty.

Safety Equipment: Always use proper safety equipment (eye protection, acid-resistant gloves, acid neutralizer) when handling, installing, or maintaining flooded batteries.

Professional installation strongly recommended due to extreme weight. Ensure optimal performance with proper charging profiles for flooded batteries and regular maintenance schedule. Contact us for freight arrangements and application-specific technical support
