MILWAUKEE, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls, the global leader in lead-acid batteries, is being recognized by Club Car as a top supplier. The company received the award for Overall Operations Excellence 2012 in a ceremony earlier this month.  Johnson Controls supplies all the batteries to power Club Car's fleet of Precedent golf cars and Carryall utility vehicles.
