Staffordshire, September 15, 2026. At its newly designed exhibition stand in Hall 4.1, the company presented its enhanced brand identity for the first time, whilst also showcasing its broad portfolio as a supplier of starter and on-board batteries, energy storage solutions, and charging and testing equipment. “For us, Automechanika is far more than just a product show. It offers the opportunity to discuss market developments directly with customers and partners, whilst at the same time demonstrating the direction in which Banner is moving,” says Franz Märzinger, MBA, Head of Sales and Marketing and Member of the Board at Banner GmbH. “The response to our stand and, in particular, to our new solutions was very encouraging.”

Premieres of the Lithium Series for mobile and stationary applications

The focus of the exhibition stand was the new Traction Bull Bloc Lithium series. With this series, Banner is adding energy storage solutions based on lithium iron phosphate technology to its portfolio for the first time. The batteries are suitable for motorhomes, caravans, boats and stationary off-grid applications that operate independently of the public electricity grid.

Banner is thus expanding the range offered by its Energy Solutions business unit. The company is targeting applications that require a reliable energy supply in situations with limited installation space and varying operating conditions. Discussions at the trade fair centred primarily on energy storage solutions for mobile and self-sufficient applications.

Batteries and accessories for workshops and the retail trade

Alongside the lithium range, Banner showcased its automotive portfolio. This includes the Running Bull AGM, Running Bull EFB, Power Bull and Buffalo Bull AGM starter and on-board batteries. The range is complemented by batteries for motorbikes and powersport vehicles, as well as chargers and testers.

In discussions with garages and retail partners, the role of the 12-volt electrical system in electrified vehicles also featured prominently. Regardless of the type of powertrain, it supplies power to numerous electrical components and supports key vehicle functions. For garages, therefore, alongside the right battery technology, diagnostics, charging and battery management are all part of their day-to-day work.
