Hup stands for High Utilization Positive. Developed by General Battery engineers and DuPont, Hup is a manufacturing process so unique it's patented. Hup produces superior lift truck batteries with higher capacities and longer life than conventional batteries and that means outstanding performance. In fact, Hup Batteries are so outstanding, they're backed by the longest standard warranty in the industry: 7 years (5 years full and 2 years pro rata). There is a Hup Battery to match almost any current truck/motive power unit and power requirement.

Cold storage, high racks, and sprawling manufacturing and distribution facilities demand battery power that performs. Our General Series Battery is designed with these applications in mind, and built to meet your demands.
