Lion Batteries was founded in the late 1930’s as a small battery factory and warehouse on Parramatta Road in Burwood, Sydney. Lion Batteries commenced operations as a battery producer supplying hard rubber cased batteries to the fledgling Australian automotive market. Lion Batteries met with continued success and by the 1960’s was a major supplier and prominent brand within the battery industry. During the 1970’s Lion Batteries took a further major step forward and established a strategic partnership with the Korean based Global & Yuasa battery factory which still remains strong today. The Lion Batteries / Global Battery Company alliance has enabled Lion Batteries to supply and market premium high quality batteries to the Australian battery industry and develop highly regarded and prominent brands within national trade, wholesale and retail markets. Lion Batteries has continued its impressive growth and expansion and today boasts a wide and comprehensive product portfolio across all markets in the industry including automotive, marine, agriculture, motorcycle, deep cycle, traction, standby, solar and specialty products.
