Technical Features
- Very low H2 evolution during operation.
- Internal cooling system with great efficiency.
- Containers are manufactured in house with a very sophisticated method. The container walls are thinner, which gives the container less weight and more volume, thus more active material for increased performance. The design of the container is verified through successful qualification of various cell types according to international shock test standards for submarine cells.
- Pole bridges are made of electrolytic copper to increase conductivity. The specially designed geometry of the pole bridge ensures maximum heat transfer during the cooling process.
- Cells’ plates have excellent dry charge conditions, exhibiting a very low operation temperature during battery activation and charging.
- The improved agitation system inside the cell protects the battery from sulphation problems and increases the electrical performance.
- Each cell is equipped with an easy maintenance service plug, and with a specially designed vent plug with integrated ceramic filter with improved anti explosive capability.

Hydrogen Eliminators
Even though our Submarine Batteries are designed to produce a small amount of Hydrogen in submerged condition, a system (certified by BWB) has been developed to eliminate this amount of Hydrogen in the ship’s atmosphere. The system in a catalytic chemical reaction (cold combustion), converts the dangerous Hydrogen to drops of distilled water, thus ensuring:
– Safety on board regarding the Hydrogen’s accumulation
– Elimination of Hydrogen starts at as low concentration as 0,15%
– High conversion rate of Hydrogen
– No electrical energy needed for the operation of the system
– Maintenance free operation
