Trojan Motive J305-AES DT 279Ah 6V AGM Deep Cycle Floor Scrubber, Aerial Lift & Solar Battery

Trojan's J305-DT-AES features proprietary Advanced Energy Storage (AES) technology delivering up to 3x the cycle life of standard AGM batteries—validated at 1,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge versus 400 cycles for conventional AGM. This high-capacity 6V 279Ah maintenance-free sealed AGM battery is specifically engineered for demanding motive power applications and renewable energy storage requiring dependable deep-cycle performance. The "DT" designation indicates Dual Terminal configuration (F12/M8 terminals) for flexible connection options and secure high-current delivery in industrial equipment and battery banks. It excels in Partial State of Charge (PSoC) conditions when irregular charging patterns prevent full daily recharging—the reality of floor cleaning machines, aerial work platforms, and solar installations. The sealed VRLA AGM construction requires zero maintenance—no watering, no hassle—making it ideal for commercial equipment and remote installations where service access is impractical or costly. Its non-spillable design allows horizontal or vertical mounting in confined spaces, and the rugged polypropylene case provides superior impact and vibration resistance for mobile equipment. With integrated braided rope handles for easy transport, operating temperature range from -40°F to 140°F, and proven AES chemistry optimized for daily deep cycling, the J305-DT-AES delivers maximum energy storage, extended cycle life, and proven reliability for floor scrubbers, aerial lifts, golf carts, marine vessels, RVs, off-grid solar systems, and industrial electric vehicles requiring deep-cycle capability with minimal maintenance.
