EnerSys, the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced that it has recently been awarded a long term contract valued at over $71 million for production and supply of its proprietary Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) Hawker ®ARMASAFE ® Plus batteries.  EnerSys signed a three year contract with an option for two additional years with the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for  batteries used by all branches of the U.S. military in combat and tactical vehicles, as well as generators.  

"EnerSys has supplied Hawker ® ARMASAFE ® Plus batteries to the U.S. military since 2002 and is proud to continue our expanding relationship with the DLA via the award of this competitive, best value contract," said David Shaffer, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. "We are honored by this continuation of EnerSys retaining the majority share of the DLA's estimated annual volume for this size battery and we look forward to continuing our support of the U.S. military."

The company will continue to produce Hawker ® ARMASAFE ® Plus batteries at its highly automated facility in Warrensburg, Missouri where batteries for U.S. Navy nuclear submarines and U.S. military aircraft are also manufactured. 

"Over the past several years EnerSys has expanded our technology portfolio to include batteries that power everything from submarines to satellites.  We are constantly working with the U.S. military and multiple federal agencies on several levels to maximize customer satisfaction," remarked Jeffrey Long, EnerSys, President-Americas.  "We continually meet challenging delivery schedules for our military customers and we stand ready to support the U.S. Army's decision to transition from traditional flooded batteries to Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries such as the TPPL Hawker ® ARMASAFE ® Plus."
