Solid State Batteries, a revolutionary development for the marine industry.
Solid-state batteries differ from traditional lithium-ion batteries by using solid instead of liquid electrolytes, enhancing safety, cycle life, and performance. These batteries can withstand overcharging, extreme heat, and punctures without harm. With a hardware override switch, electronic control systems can be ypassed, ensuring reliable power access in any situation. Additionally, their extended cycle life of over 10,000 cycles makes them more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, offering significant ecological and economic advantages.
A significant step forward
Enhanced safety
High energy density
Fast Charging
Wide temperature range
Longer lifespanCells
SAFETY POINTS
When we start from scratch, we do extensive failure analyses before and during design stage
Our BMS is robust and proven, used in many industry and marine applications
We measure each single cell voltage and get alarms if one of the cells should get bad instant, even on a trend
4/7 balancing as soon as the cells hit a certain target, this to avoid self-discharge and unneeded heat production
Each cell has its own cell fuse
Gas exhaust system
Pre-charge circuit for start-up
Black-out start, systems can start up when the ship is totally depowered, must have emergency supply battery 24V
PERFORMANCE AND LIFETIME
Like all batteries, also EPTechnologies batteries age, by usage and by calendar aging. Calendar aging is around 1% per year if kept below 30 deg storage temp and if stored at 50 to 60% SOC.
