May 28, 2025: Pakistan-based Alaska Batteries has launched the brand’s first graphite lead acid line.

Alaska, a subsidiary of Islamabad’s SMJ Industries, said on May 7 that the new advanced graphite additives range offers increased performance and lifecycle.

The company claims its proprietary graphite-enhanced battery plates offer up to 30% longer service life, faster recharging, superior heat resistance catering for Pakistan’s climate and consistent power delivery for vehicles, UPS, and solar systems.

Meanwhile, the firm said it is laying the groundwork for expansion with new regional after sales offices to be set up nationwide by next year.

Alaska said it also intends to introduce maintenance free, tubular battery technologies and lithium ion products, while expanding regional exports within the next two years.
