Exide Company Description
Exide Technologies hopes you'll get a charge out of its products. The company makes lead-acid automotive and industrial batteries with customers that include retailers such as Wal-Mart and NAPA, and transportation giants such as Ford and Toyota. The company also makes batteries for boats, farm equipment, golf carts, locomotives, and wheelchairs, as well as backup power supply batteries for telecommunications, computer, and power plant systems. Brand names include Classic, Marathon, NASCAR Extreme, Sunlyte, and Super Crank. The company is challenged by rising prices for lead and other raw materials. Operations outside the US account for more than half of sales.
