Problem
Maritime vessels that require electrification face limited options for energy storage that can meet high power demands, rapid charging, long service life, and stringent safety standards. Conventional battery systems are often oversized, heavy, and lack built‑in redundancy, leading to increased vessel weight, reduced payload, and heightened fire risk.
Solution
Echandia supplies certified battery energy storage systems specifically engineered for heavy‑duty maritime applications. The systems use lithium‑titanate (LTO) chemistry and an intelligent battery management system (BMS) to deliver rapid charge cycles, high power peaks, and thousands of charge‑discharge cycles without performance degradation. Built‑in redundancy and fire‑safe cell architecture eliminate heat‑build‑up risks, while the modular design enables custom sizing without oversizing the battery pack. High system efficiency reduces weight and volume by up to 50 % compared with conventional solutions, extending vessel range and preserving payload. A dedicated Through‑Life Support service provides continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, and compliance reporting throughout the expected 20‑year operational lifespan.
Target Audience
Primary customers are shipbuilders, ferry and commuter‑boat operators, naval and offshore service vessels, and maritime OEMs seeking certified, high‑performance energy storage for new or retrofitted electric propulsion systems.
