Trojan Motive T1275-AES M8 130Ah 12V Aerial Lift & Floor Machine Battery

Trojan's T1275-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 12V maintenance-free sealed AGM deep-cycle battery provides exceptional performance in Partial State of Charge (PSoC) conditions, preventing the rapid sulfation degradation that destroys conventional batteries in renewable energy and opportunity-charging applications. Its non-spillable construction allows horizontal mounting for flexible installation and operates in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C). The sealed AGM design eliminates watering requirements and acid spill risks, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where maintenance access is limited or safety regulations prohibit spillable batteries. With 130Ah capacity (99 Ah at 5-hour rate) and 1.66 kWh total energy output, the T1275-AES delivers outstanding reserve capacity (217 minutes at 25 amps) and proven reliability with minimal upkeep requirements for aerial lifts, floor machines, material handling equipment, marine systems, RVs, and off-grid solar installations.

Key applications
