Air-cooled battery targets high-cycle marine ops

Swedish marine battery supplier Echandia has launched the next generation of its Ultra battery energy storage system, designed for high-power, high-cycle vessel operations.

The Echandia Ultra is an air-cooled system built on lithium titanate oxide (LTO) chemistry, certified for maritime operations and carrying type approvals from DNV and Bureau Veritas. LTO chemistry delivers extremely long cycle life, high charge and discharge rates, and exceptional thermal stability. Unlike standard lithium-ion batteries, which use graphite components that can overheat under heavy use, LTO systems are more thermally stable, with significantly
