Trojan Motive J185-AES 175Ah 12V AGM Battery

High-Performance Deep-Cycle Power for Industrial and Professional Applications

The Trojan Motive J185-AES bridges the gap between traditional lead-acid and premium lithium batteries, delivering 3x the cycle life of standard AGM batteries at a fraction of lithium's cost. This 175Ah maintenance-free powerhouse is engineered for extreme deep-cycling in demanding industrial environments where reliability, durability, and performance are non-negotiable.

Engineered for Real-World Industrial Demands

Advanced Energy Storage for Opportunity Charging

Unlike standard batteries that fail when repeatedly charged without reaching 100% capacity, the J185-AES thrives in Partial State of Charge (PSoC) conditions. This makes it ideal for "opportunity charging" scenarios—plugging in during breaks, lunch periods, or between shifts—without the damage that destroys conventional batteries. Industrial operations can maximize equipment uptime without worrying about incomplete charge cycles.

Proven Performance in Demanding Applications

With validation for 1,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge compared to just 400 cycles for standard AGM batteries, the J185-AES delivers exceptional return on investment through extended service life. This massive cycle life advantage translates directly to lower total cost of ownership and reduced battery replacement frequency in high-use commercial and industrial applications.

Built for Extreme Reliability

• 1,200 cycles at 100% DOD — triple the lifespan of standard AGM batteries
• Extreme temperature operation (-40°F to 140°F) for harsh indoor and outdoor environments
• Completely maintenance-free — sealed VRLA design requires zero watering
• Vibration-resistant construction — engineered for mobile equipment and rough handling
• Non-spillable design — safe horizontal mounting in any orientation
• M8 terminal connections — secure, low-resistance contacts for high-current industrial applications

Where the J185-AES Excels

Industrial Floor Care Equipment

Large commercial floor scrubbers, sweepers, and burnishers in warehouses, distribution centers, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities rely on the J185-AES for all-day performance. The battery's partial charge tolerance makes it perfect for cleaning crews who plug in during breaks without waiting for full recharge cycles. Reduced downtime and extended battery life lower operational costs significantly.

Aerial Work Platforms

Scissor lifts, boom lifts, and aerial work platforms require batteries that withstand constant movement, vibration, and varying angles of operation. The J185-AES's rugged construction and non-spillable sealed design ensure safe, reliable power on construction sites, maintenance facilities, and industrial installations. Its ability to handle partial charging between jobs keeps equipment productive throughout the workday.

Solar & Renewable Energy Storage

Off-grid solar systems, remote telecommunications towers, and renewable energy installations benefit from the J185-AES's exceptional partial state of charge resilience. Cloudy weather that prevents full daily recharging won't damage this battery—it's specifically engineered to handle the irregular charging patterns that destroy standard batteries. The 12V configuration simplifies system design for medium-capacity solar applications.

Material Handling Equipment

Electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and light-duty lift trucks require consistent performance throughout extended shifts. The J185-AES delivers reliable power for warehouse operations, logistics facilities, and distribution centers where equipment runs continuously. Opportunity charging during breaks maximizes productivity without compromising battery health or longevity.

Marine & RV House Power

Large yachts, cruising sailboats, and luxury motorhomes demand high-capacity, maintenance-free house batteries for extended off-grid adventures. The 175Ah capacity at 12V provides substantial energy storage for refrigeration, electronics, lighting, and climate control. The sealed AGM construction eliminates gassing concerns in living spaces, while the non-spillable design ensures safe operation in the dynamic marine environment.

Professional-Grade Engineering

The M8 terminal design provides secure, low-resistance connections essential for high-current industrial applications. These threaded terminals ensure reliable electrical contact even in high-vibration environments, preventing the loose connections that cause voltage drop and equipment performance issues.

As a sealed Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery, the J185-AES requires absolutely zero maintenance throughout its operational life. No watering schedules, no electrolyte monitoring, no acid spills—just consistent, reliable performance day after day, year after year. This maintenance-free design significantly reduces operational costs and complexity in commercial and industrial settings.

The extreme temperature tolerance (-40°F to 140°F) makes this battery suitable for uninsulated equipment compartments, outdoor installations, and facilities without climate control. From freezer warehouses to desert construction sites, the J185-AES maintains performance where conventional batteries would fail.

The Smart Alternative to Lithium

The Trojan Motive J185-AES delivers lithium-like performance at lead-acid pricing. For industrial operations requiring extended cycle life, partial charge tolerance, and proven reliability, this battery offers exceptional value. It's the professional's choice for equipment that works hard every day in demanding environments where downtime isn't an option.
