EnerSys, a global provider of stored energy solutions for industrial applications and the manufacturer of ODYSSEY batteries, has announced it will continue its role as the Exclusive Battery Partner of BIGFOOT 4×4 Inc. in 2018.
The announcement marks the company’s 18th year as a sponsor of the BIGFOOT Monster Truck racing and display program. EnerSys provides the ODYSSEY batteries found in BIGFOOT 4×4’s entire fleet of monster trucks, haulers and shop vehicles.
“There’s no more extreme environment than a monster truck race to show the power and reliability of ODYSSEY batteries,” said Dave McMullen, senior director of marketing, transportation and specialty at EnerSys. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with BIGFOOT and help them to more victories.”
ODYSSEY batteries feature a three- to 10-year service life and two-year storage life at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius), according to EnerSys. They are vibration resistant and classified as “non-spillable” by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
“BIGFOOT and EnerSys have worked together for almost two decades. This partnership led directly to the development of the world’s first and only all-electric monster truck, ODYSSEY Battery BIGFOOT No. 20,” said Bob Trent, vice president at BIGFOOT 4×4 Inc. “We’ll be working with them to find new and exciting ways to put ODYSSEY batteries to the ultimate test on the monster truck circuit.”
The ODYSSEY battery logo can be seen on all of the BIGFOOT monster trucks, transporters, crew shirts, hero cards and BIGFOOT novelty items.
