History of Innovation

Exide batteries provide the submerged power for the U.S. Navy’s first modern commissioned submarine, the USS Holland (SS-1).

In an effort to eliminate dangerous hand-cranked engine starting, Cadillac becomes the first battery-started internal combustion car. Exide batteries supplied power for lighting and ignition.

“Battle Tested, Military Approved.” Through WWII, Exide supplied submarine batteries to the U.S. Navy, in addition to other tank and fleet vehicles.

Exide introduced free electrolyte and gel batteries, climate-tailored batteries and maintenance-free technology for various marine applications.

Advanced solutions for motive power applications… an on-board hybrid hydrogen fuel cell and battery energy system for the materials handling market.
