Features

FULLY SUBMERSIBLE
The 1.5 kWh Subsea Battery is designed for direct submergence in water in any orientation, eliminating the need for a pressure vessel.

HIGH ENERGY DENSITY
The lithium-polymer chemistry provides extremely high energy density while still maintaining good cycle life and performance, which are desirable for subsea applications.

SWAPPABLE
The design of the 1.5 kWh Subsea Battery allows a user to quickly replace a discharged battery with a charged one without ever opening a pressure vessel. This enables rapid turnaround of submersible equipment in the field.

RECHARGEABLE
With the fully automated charging system, full battery recharge can be accomplished in six hours or less.

OTHER FEATURES

Rechargeable lithium-polymer cells
Housing is internally pressure-compensated with oil
Wet-mateable connectors simplify cable management when used with Bluefin junction boxes
Serial communications
Safety electronics for monitoring and prevention of over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and over-temperature conditions
UN-certified, stainless-steel shipping container included, which allows shipment via any mode (ground, sea or air)

Available Accessories

Charger (with cable)
Discharger (with cable)
Multi-Battery Junction Box
Mating Connector
