Two subsea ready, Li Ion battery products announced by battery solutions innovator Southwest Electronic Energy Group (SWE), break new ground with 4x longer deployments and 8x more charge cycles than lead acid batteries while delivering uncompromising safety.
SWE SeaSafe™ products will power the entire range of modern subsea vehicles from MUVs (manned underwater vehicles) to ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) to AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) and offshore Oil and Gas infrastructure electronics and actuators. SeaSafe battery products are available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) for fast time to market with configure-to-order flexibility that scales to customers’ individual voltage and amp-hour capacity needs in modular increments.
Popular configurations will be pre-certified for UN/DOT Transportation and other industry standards as appropriate, further speeding customer’s time to market while reducing cost and risk. The first product is the new SWE SeaSafe™ Smart Battery Module: Easy to use battery building blocks for customers to integrate in their own pressure equalized enclosures. Modules are available in either 29V or 24V sizes. Each module delivers a capacity of 28Ah when charged to 90% state of charge. Building on the strength of the SeaSafe Smart Module is a second product, the new SWE SeaSafe™ Battery System. Designed for customers needing a complete power solution in a subsea ready pressure equalized case, the system holds up to four Smart Modules.
The SeaSafe Battery System case is built rugged with 316 stainless steel and pressure validated down to a 6000m sea depth. Customers can configure-to-order SeaSafe Battery System voltage and capacity up to 130Vmax and 112Ah in each case. Seacon WET-CON connectors come standard; ODI and others are optional. Battery System cases are stackable for even more voltage and amp-hour capacity.
