Driving Green: Sustainable Battery Solutions

The journey to a cleaner planet doesn’t always begin with massive industrial changes—it often starts with everyday choices. At the Harris Battery Company, we believe that the future of sustainable transportation lies not just in innovation, but in accessibility. That’s why we’ve prioritized developing and delivering battery solutions that support cleaner, more efficient power for recreational and utility vehicles like golf carts and RVs.

The Overlooked Footprint of Recreational Vehicles

It’s easy to overlook the environmental impact of golf carts on a resort property or an RV heading out for a weekend escape. But multiply that by thousands across the country, and it becomes clear—powering these vehicles with sustainable energy solutions can have a measurable impact on emissions.

Lead-acid and Lithium batteries, when properly recycled and replaced through responsible programs, can significantly reduce carbon emissions. According to the EPA, transportation is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gases in the U.S. While personal RV use or electric carts may seem small in comparison to commercial freight, they represent a key opportunity for offsetting emissions—especially when supported by proper recycling and end-of-life battery programs.

The Harris Battery Commitment

Our commitment to sustainability is rooted in more than just good intentions—it’s embedded in our products, partnerships, and practices. From sourcing to recycling, Harris Battery has built a streamlined ecosystem that emphasizes environmental responsibility.

We offer battery solutions with long life cycles, low maintenance requirements, and high recyclability. Flooded, AGM, and Lithium battery options give our customers flexibility to choose the power solution that best matches their needs while aligning with their environmental goals.

But sustainability doesn’t end at the sale. Our core exchange and battery recycling programs ensure that used batteries are handled safely, preventing harmful materials from entering landfills and reducing the demand for raw material mining. These programs also provide traceable data—an essential component for ESG reporting and emissions accountability.

Data-Driven Impact: How It Adds Up

Every battery counts. Our internal tracking estimates show that recycling just one full truckload of batteries can prevent over 200 metric tons of CO₂e from entering the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent of removing nearly 45 passenger vehicles from the road for an entire year.

These estimates don’t just demonstrate environmental impact—they reinforce the power of scalable sustainability. Whether you’re managing a fleet of golf carts, maintaining a campground, or upgrading your personal RV, your decision to choose a responsible battery solution creates a ripple effect of environmental stewardship.

Building a Better Path Forward

We’ve made it simple to take part. With no minimum order requirements, multiple drop-ship options, and full-service logistics support, Harris Battery enables businesses and individuals alike to make smart, sustainable choices without sacrificing convenience or performance.

In an era where greenwashing has become all too common, we pride ourselves on being transparent and measurable in our approach. Our team works closely with partners to provide documentation for ESG initiatives, and create long-term value beyond the battery itself.
