("Dragonfly Energy"), the U.S.-based leader in Lithium-ion battery technology, has entered into an exclusive agreement with Keystone RV Company ("Keystone RV"), North America's leading RV manufacturer and a subsidiary of Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO). Dragonfly Energy Lithium-ion batteries now come as standard or optional OEM equipment on all Keystone RV travel trailers and fifth wheels. Keystone RV dealers will also be exclusive aftermarket dealers for Dragonfly Energy batteries through Keystone's SolarFlex™ packages and as stand-alone products.

"Keystone RV continues to lead the industry in innovation, and Dragonfly Energy is proud to be their lithium battery supplier," Wade Seaburg, director of business development for Dragonfly Energy, said. "Our relationship has spanned many years, and this will allow our batteries to be included in towable RV's before hitting the dealership lot and covered under the factory warranty. The customer experience of a Keystone RV has greatly increased with the adoption of Dragonfly Energy batteries."

Jeff Runels, CEO of Keystone RV (Division of Thor Industries), added "Keystone RV has an incredible relationship with Dragonfly Energy. Our collaboration on the Montana Super SolarFlex™ package demonstrated Dragonfly's ability to innovate, execute, and even help us to market the final product. We expect a long and fruitful continued relationship with Dragonfly."

Through this agreement, Dragonfly Energy's brand of technology and renewable energy storage is available to the public for the first time. Combined with Keystone's SolarFlex™ program, RVs equipped with industry-leading Lithium-ion technology transforms what travelers can do on and off the road.

As environmentally safe, high performance and maintenance free products, Dragonfly Energy Lithium-ion batteries have changed the way the RV industry looks at energy storage. Dragonfly products are outperforming replacements for traditional lead-acid batteries with a 10-times longer lifespan, 3-times the power, 5-times the energy density, and 5-times the charging speed. Engineered, designed, and tested for quality control all under one facility in the USA, Dragonfly Energy holds high confidence in the reliability and performance of their product line, proud to alleviate battery anxiety for Keystone customers while traveling.

An RV lifestyle powered by renewable energy makes for not only a sustainable experience, but an elevated one, as well.
