NorthStar telecom batteries - NSB pure lead, with verified replacements
Send us the part number, quantity and requested date.
A battery specialist confirms what is genuinely available, prices the verified successor beside it where one exists, and returns a written quote in 24 to 48 hours. NorthStar built pure lead AGM batteries in Springfield, Missouri, and EnerSys owns the brand today, so much of the range now routes to EnerSys production lines. This page is where NorthStar buyers find remaining stock and the battery that replaced theirs.

Where the NorthStar range stands
NSB RED front terminal - the pure lead telecom line rated at a 15-year EUROBAT design life. EnerSys has retired part of the range; each product page states what is stocked and what replaced it.
Pure lead construction - high-purity grids corrode slower on float than cast alloy, which is what the long design life ratings rest on.
Verified replacement paths - retired NSB models cross to EnerSys PowerSafe SBS front-terminal equivalents, confirmed against the drawings rather than a lookup table.
The in-production front-terminal equivalent NSB190FT buyers cross to.
How commercial orders work
Send the part number, quantity, delivery ZIP and requested-by date. Because parts of this range are retired, availability moves; a specialist confirms in writing what is genuinely in stock, prices the successor alongside it, and documents freight, in 24 to 48 hours. Batteries ship freight pre-paid by LTL to commercial addresses; a residential or limited-access delivery adds $100, which is the liftgate and access charge the carrier bills us. Warranty terms are stated on each product page and confirmed in writing with your quote.
NorthStar questions, answered
Who stands behind a NorthStar battery today?
EnerSys. EnerSys acquired NorthStar in 2019, and EnerSys warrants the NSB line and manufactures its successors. The NorthStar name stays on the label and in the part numbers buyers search for; the company behind the warranty is EnerSys.
My NSB part number is discontinued. What now?
Send it over with the tray dimensions. Retired NSB front-terminal models cross to EnerSys PowerSafe SBS equivalents in the same footprint class, and we confirm voltage, footprint and terminal hardware against the drawing before you order. The product pages for retired models name their successors directly.
Is remaining NSB RED stock still worth buying?
For matching an existing string, often yes: any remaining stock carries the manufacturer's term, stated on the product page and confirmed in writing with your quote. For a new install, the in-production SBS line is usually the better start, because its documentation and replacement stock will be current for the life of the site.
