Trojan Battery Company’s OnePack 48V 105Ah Lithium Battery Pack was the power solution of choice for a record-setting golf cart climb led by Austin King, owner of World Famous Golf Carts, and supported by Trojan Battery Company. The Trojan Lithium OnePack™ powered a golf cart to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, CO. King did the first-of-its-kind drive to highlight the power, reliability, and overall performance of Trojan Battery’s new innovative golf cart battery.
King selected the Trojan Lithium OnePack because he believes Trojan supplies the premier lithium-ion batteries on the market. He wanted to prove that point by driving up one of the steepest roads in America.
“We were looking for a steep incline to show the power and performance of the Trojan Lithium OnePack. In my mind Pikes Peak Highway is the pinnacle of any road to travel. We did it with no problem,” said King.
Proving the Power of Trojan Lithium OnePack
King drove the OnePack-powered golf cart 20 miles up Pikes Peak Highway to the summit, which rises 14,115 feet above sea level. The average gradient of the highway is 6.70%, with some sections reaching up to 12% in steepness. He maintained a speed of 22 MPH for most of the ride, proving the power of Trojan Lithium OnePack. When King reached the summit, the battery pack still had a 26% charge.
King is a U.S Air Force veteran who still serves in the reserves. That is one reason he wanted to use a battery and golf cart with American roots. The Trojan Lithium OnePack is designed, tested, and undergoes final processing in Trojan’s Santa Fe Springs, CA facility.
“Pound for pound, Trojan batteries, such as the Trojan Lithium OnePack, are the best performing, safest choice on the market. In the lithium-ion segment, Trojan is the most trusted manufacturer,” said King.
