The 3K Battery company has become known in many parts of the world through their creative promotional outlets. In the United States, the 3K Battery name may be attributed more towards boxing than batteries, as TSB contracts Thai boxers to sponsor their products. The fighters, in turn, change their names to promote the brand . Sponsor fighters often fight under the last name of "3K Battery". The 3K Battery is a common Thai boxing name and parallels Sor Vorapin, a name which several fighters share due to their affiliation with the Sor Vorapin Muai Thai and boxing gym.
