As the excitement builds for the 2024 Rebelle Rally, we’re thrilled to announce that Stryten Energy is proudly sponsoring a team to embark on this grueling eight-day, off-road challenge. Here’s everything you need to know about this incredible event and how Stryten Energy is driving innovation on and off the road.
What Is the Rebelle Rally?
The Rebelle Rally is the ultimate test of endurance, skill and teamwork. It’s the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the United States, spanning over 2,500 kilometers of stunning yet challenging desert terrain. The Rebelle Rally focuses on precision and navigation rather than speed, requiring participants to rely solely on maps, compasses and their wits to find checkpoints scattered across the vast landscape.
The 2024 Rebelle Rally kicks off on October 10th and runs through October 19th. The rally will take our team from the breathtaking landscapes of Nevada through the majestic dunes of California and finally to the finish line in the iconic deserts of Joshua Tree/ Palm Springs.
Who’s Representing Stryten Energy?
Our dynamic duo, Jully Hirt (Sieglaff) and Amanda Elve, are ready to tackle the desert with their unmatched synergy and resilience. Their journey began in late 2015 when they were coworkers at an automotive battery plant. A great friendship continued to grow even as they moved on to different companies. In 2022, they were brought back together at Stryten Energy.
Jully is the realist and big-picture thinker, while Amanda is the detail-oriented perfectionist—together, they form an unstoppable team.
“As the Rally approaches, we are experiencing a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, fear and nerves—yet we remain determined to embrace the challenge ahead. We are driven by the desire to continuously push our boundaries and challenge ourselves. We see the Rebelle Rally as a chance to gain a new perspective, shake off complacency and challenge ourselves in ways we never imagined.” – Jully Sieglaff
Fueling Performance and Innovation
By sponsoring Jully and Amanda’s participation in the Rebelle Rally, Stryten Energy’s advanced Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) will prove it can perform under some of the harshest conditions imaginable. The rugged desert environment of the rally is an ideal environment for our EFB, designed to deliver superior performance, durability and reliability in high heat conditions.
As the team navigates the treacherous terrain, our EFB will power their vehicle, highlighting its ability to withstand extreme conditions. This event is more than just a competition—it’s a demonstration of the cutting-edge technology that Stryten Energy brings to the automotive aftermarket industry.
Beth the Jeep is also outfitted with the 75Ah 12V Group 24 Battle Born lithium-ion battery, specifically designed for long-lasting, reliable performance. This battery will power a mini fridge, keeping food and drinks fresh in the scorching desert heat. With advanced lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, it provides 3,000-5,000 deep discharge cycles, lightweight construction, and built-in protections, making it an ideal solution for extreme environments like the Rebelle Rally. Stryten Energy has partnered with Dragonfly Energy to license and distribute the Battle Born Batteries brand for military, automotive, marine, power sports, lawn & garden and golf cart applications.
