HOW OUR ENGINES ARE MADE

Vanguard V-twin engines are made in our own Briggs & Stratton manufacturing plants. The unique Vanguard Manufacturing System demonstrates our personal commitment to quality from start to finish. Each part of our manufacturing process is designed for extreme precision, accuracy and quality control. We call it the 3 Ps. And it’s why you can be confident that Vanguard engines and batteries deliver the rugged reliability and exceptional performance you expect from our brand. All covered with maximum safety for the people working in the plants.

WHY VANGUARD^™BATTERIES

Vanguard batteries are made for dependable performance in tough conditions, offering reliability, durability, safety, and easy integration, with consistent operation even in extreme temperatures, all supported by a global service network.

Durability

Vanguard batteries are built to withstand the harshest work environments. Hot, cold, wet, or dry — Vanguard batteries deliver power. Enclosed in an aluminium diecast housing, these batteries can withstand the most demanding operating conditions. Thermal cycle testing from -40 °C to 80 °C together with dust and water resistance means the batteries deliver the power wherever and whenever you need it. Designed with IP rated connectors, in addition to the dust and water resistance, the Vanguard battery packs can be easily cleaned when returned after a hard day at work.

Safety

Vanguard batteries are built with safety at their core, thanks to a meticulously designed in-house Battery Management System (BMS). Drawing from industry lessons, Vanguard incorporates multiple safety layers into each battery pack. The BMS handles all logic and communication, continuously monitoring voltage, temperature, and current flow to ensure safe operation. It also prevents issues like reversed polarity, overcharging, deep discharge, and overheating. This integrated approach not only enhances safety but also extends battery life, boosts performance, and provides valuable data monitoring.

Vanguard provides a world-class, full-service global support package. From pre-production power integration through our regional Power Application Centers to infield service and support in more than 100 countries — Vanguard has you covered.
