The EnerSys story began over 100 years ago, when The Electric Storage
Battery Company ( ESB) was founded near Philadelphia in 1888 - its Chloride
Accumulator Battery helped launch the Age of Electricity. ESB grew dramatically
over the years, through product innovation and by expanding the uses for
battery power for automotive and industrial applications. ESB sold its
industrial battery operations to Yuasa Inc. in 1991, and the company became
EnerSys 10 years later - the result of a management buyout of the Motive
Power and Stationary Power (now Reserve Power) business units from Yuasa
in January of 2001. In March of 2002, EnerSys purchased the Hawker Energy
Storage Products Group, making EnerSys the largest provider of standby
DC power solutions in the industry.
