Triathlon Batterien GmbH stands as a prominent manufacturer of industrial batteries, specializing in both lead-acid and lithium-ion solutions. Established in 2014, the company operates from its advanced facility in Glauchau, Saxony, where approximately 150 skilled professionals contribute to its success. As part of the Sunlight Group, Triathlon Batterien focuses on creating efficient power solutions for electric industrial vehicles, including forklifts, trucks, and material handling equipment. The company’s dedication to quality and innovation has established it as a trusted provider in the industrial battery sector, with operations spanning multiple countries and serving diverse industrial applications.
Battery Technology
Triathlon Batterien’s technical portfolio centers on two main technologies: lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems. Their lithium-ion solutions incorporate advanced cell monitoring and management systems, achieving efficiency rates up to 97% through their TriCOM SR-Switching Technology. These systems feature built-in protection against deep discharge and overcharging, while maintaining precise temperature control at the individual cell level.
The company’s manufacturing process takes place in a 55,000 m2 facility equipped with automated production lines and sophisticated ERP systems. Each battery undergoes strict quality testing to meet international standards, including DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification requirements. The lithium-ion systems support fast and opportunity charging capabilities, enabling continuous operation across multiple shifts without battery exchanges. This feature significantly reduces operational downtime and eliminates the need for dedicated charging rooms.
For industrial applications requiring traditional power solutions, Triathlon’s lead-acid batteries offer reliable performance and durability. Both battery types are manufactured with emphasis on resource efficiency and environmental responsibility, reflecting the company’s commitment to sustainable industrial practices.
Recent Projects
In 2023, Triathlon Batterien expanded its production capabilities following complete integration into the Sunlight Group. This merger enhanced the company’s ability to serve global markets and accelerated development in lithium-ion technology. The company also strengthened its position in renewable energy storage systems, introducing new battery solutions for industrial applications and expanding its service network across European markets.
Investors
Sunlight Group maintains full ownership of Triathlon Batterien GmbH, following a two-phase acquisition completed in July 2023. Initially acquiring 51% in December 2022, Sunlight Group proceeded to purchase the remaining shares from Geraer Batterie-Dienst GmbH, establishing complete control of operations. This investment structure supports Triathlon’s expansion plans and technological advancement initiatives.
