Furukawa Battery and Exide have formed a technological alliance since the mid-2000s. In 2005, Furukawa Battery concluded a technical assistance contract with Exide for lead-acid batteries for automotive use and in 2007, for valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries for motorcycles.

In 2012, a technical assistance contract was added for lead-acid batteries for idling stop vehicles. All three contracts are still under way.

Furukawa Battery is providing Exide with technologies to produce lead-acid batteries.

By doing so, Furukawa Battery will support the upgrading of Exide’s batteries and the expansion of its product line-up.
