About Sonnenschein
Founded in Berlin in 1910 by Theodor Sonnenschein, the Sonnenschein brand has been a pioneer in the battery industry for over a century. The company's foundational mission was to develop and manufacture high-quality, reliable energy storage solutions. This commitment to innovation led to a significant breakthrough in 1957 when Sonnenschein patented the gel-cell type of valve-regulated lead-acid battery, a technology that revolutionized the industry.
Theodor Sonnenschein's vision was to create batteries that offered superior performance and durability, even in the most demanding conditions. This vision is realized today in a wide range of Sonnenschein batteries, including the renowned "dryfit" gel technology, which provides exceptional cycling performance, deep discharge protection, and a long service life. These batteries are crucial for a variety of industries, including solar and renewable energy, marine applications, and industrial mobility, powering everything from off-grid solar installations to high-end motorhomes.
As part of the Exide Technologies group since 1996, Sonnenschein has a robust global presence. With manufacturing facilities in Europe and North America, and a worldwide network of distributors and partners, Sonnenschein batteries are available in snowy regions and demanding applications across the globe. This international reach ensures that the Sonnenschein legacy of quality, reliability, and innovation continues to power the world.
