GP Batteries have always been viewed as innovators, developing new and more efficient styles of battery. This has made them a popular choice in the industrial and commercial markets.
Established in Singapore in 1964, GP Batteries have expanded across the world. They now have bases in Hong Kong, The Netherlands, the UK and many other countries. Their electronics division has also grown.
To this end, GP acquired Lighthouse Technologies in 2000. Lighthouse specialise in large-scale LED technologies used in indoor and outdoor big screens.
The extensive product range from GP includes NiMH battery chargers, solar battery chargers and many other accessories.
The selection of products with the GP Batteries brand name is highly diverse, as they cater to both the industrial and retail markets.
