Traction battery SUPER < LIFTTOP > ECO
As of 1st Oct 2020, Hitachi’s traction battery name changes to "LIFTTOP"
We will continue to provide highly reliable and long-life batteries.
History of “LIFTTOP”
With more than 100 years of history, we aim to be a leading global battery supplier.
1916 | Shin Kobe Electric Machinery was established and began manufacturing of lead acid battery. | ![]() |
---|---|---|
1979 | Began manufacturing and sales of traction battery. | |
1987 | Began manufacturing and sales of “LIFTTOP” series. | |
2010 | Began manufacturing and sales of “SUPER<LIFTTOP> ECO” series. | |
2016 | Shin kobe Electric Machinery was merged with Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. | Hitachi |
2020 | On Oct. 1st, Hitachi Chemical changes its company name to “Showa Denko Materials”. | ![]() |

Technologies
Positive Plate
[Pressure Casting Spine]
Our patented lead-alloy composition, enhanced with advanced technology to control the pressure casting of the positive spine is reliable, durable for usage in harsh environment and reduce self discharge rate.
Characteristic:
- Better corrosion resistance (Evaluated at 1200 cycles).
- Higher tensile strength of 1.5x higher than conventional type.
[Corrosion Proof]
[Tensile strength]
Representative patents/patent applications
- Unique alloy composition of spine
- Advanced technology to control pressure casting

* Publication number
[Glass Fiber Clad Tube]
We adopted glass fiber clad tube that can prevent leakage of active materials during usage.
Our patented application of glass fiber also provide excellent heat resistance & chemical resistance which contribute the overall high performance of the battery.
[Positive Active Material]
The active material used on the positive plate is perfectly developed to greatly enhance the longevity and increase the high capacity of the battery.
Representative patents/patent applications
- Long-life technology with optimized glass tubes

* Application number
Negative Plate
[Separator]
We have adopted sealed-up structure to reduce the risk of internal short circuit for the negative plate. This structure is designed in a unique way. Each of our negative plates is enveloped by polyethylene separator, which is sealed on all sides by mechanical seal and ultrasonic seal on the top side.
[Negative Active Material]
The reacting area has increased by about 20% in comparison with our conventional types. Thanks to the new negative electrode additives developed by our company, the discharge capacity at low temperature has increased about 10% compared with our previous model.
Representative patent applications/design patent applications
- Long-life technology with envelope type separator designed with a unique structure
