ABS and SCAG Partner to Power Next-Gen Mowers with Smart

American Battery Solutions (ABS) has announced a strategic partnership with SCAG Power Equipment, a division of Metalcraft of Mayville Inc., to supply advanced lithium-ion battery technology for the new Scag® RC Extreme Slope™ Mower. The collaboration, which will continue through 2027, involves the integration of ABS’s Alliance Intelligent Battery Series™ systems, with deliveries already in progress from ABS’s manufacturing facility in Springboro, Ohio. This partnership marks a significant step in advancing sustainable, high-performance solutions for outdoor power equipment.

“Landscape professionals trust Scag Power Equipment for unmatched durability and reliability in the toughest conditions. That’s why Metalcraft of Mayville chose ABS and our Alliance battery systems, which deliver the same high-performance standards in the low-voltage space,” stated Subhash Dhar, ABS Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “Our Applications Engineering team collaborated closely with Metalcraft to adapt the Alliance I48V-3.0 battery for this application. With industry-leading energy density and a scalable design, the Alliance series is built to withstand the physical demands and thermal challenges of commercial landscaping equipment.”

The ABS Alliance batteries will be launched in the Scag® RC Extreme Slope™ Mower where it enables higher power and reduced fuel consumption by empowering series hybrid operation of the mower. The scalability of the Alliance family means the same ABS U.S.-manufactured battery can be used on a variety of different mowers in the fleet.

The world-class engineering know-how and experience at ABS combined with its smart battery technology unlocked the innovative solution for hybrid powered Scag-branded landscape equipment. Integrating the robust, safe and high-performing Alliance lithium-ion batteries will deliver more power and control for the Scag® RC Extreme Slope™ Mower.
