With more than 100 years of history, we aim to be a leading global battery supplier.

Image of Traction battery SUPER < LIFTTOP > ECO

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.
2020	On Oct. ^1st, Hitachi Chemical changes its company name to “Showa Denko Materials”.

* The origin of new brand < LIFTTOP > is series name of our traction battery.

* Application number

Negative Plate

Image of Separator

[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.

Image of Negative Active Material

[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.
