Description
About product
Trojan Ranger 160 is an 8V 204Ah deep-cycle flooded motive lead-acid battery engineered for maximum range and extended runtime in golf cart and utility vehicle applications. It delivers 35% more travel time between recharges compared to traditional 8-volt batteries, making it an excellent choice for users who demand longest range, proven performance, and reduced recharging frequency.
Product overview
Trojan’s Ranger 160 is the first U.S.-made long-range golf cart battery specifically optimized for excursions requiring significantly more range than typical batteries can manage. Featuring T2 Technology with Alpha Plus paste and Maxguard T2 advanced separator, it provides maximum sustained performance, 40% longer life than traditional 8-volt batteries, and increased total energy output (1.80 kWh). Its enhanced internal design includes more active material delivering higher performance for long-range driving requirements. The MasterVent designation indicates full compatibility with HydroLink Single-Point Watering System, allowing an entire battery bank to be watered in less than 30 seconds for safer, faster maintenance.
Key applications
- Golf carts and utility vehicles – motive power for 48V golf cart systems requiring maximum range and extended runtime for long excursions in golf courses, resorts, and large properties.
- Low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) – primary power for neighborhood electric vehicles and campus transport requiring extended range between charges.
- Hunting buggies and recreational vehicles – power for off-road and recreational vehicles requiring maximum distance per charge in remote areas.
- Commercial utility vehicles – motive power for facility transport, personnel carriers, and commercial applications requiring reduced recharging frequency.
