Off-Shore

Offshore Batteries used in the offshore market segment can become comparatively large for several reasons: they often operate far from infrastructure that allows low-power communication, battery replacement is very expensive, and systems may operate underwater or in cold environments. Due to their size and deployment conditions, selecting offshore batteries with the highest possible energy density is critical.

For example, in an acoustic underwater positioning system, a 25.2 V – 266 Ah PulsesPlus battery operates for approximately 500 days, while an alkaline battery of the same size runs for only 200 days. If equipment operates in North Pole regions, the advantage of offshore batteries based on lithium technology is even greater. A Tadiran lithium battery using 32 D-cells weighs only 3.2 kg, replacing an alkaline battery that would require 380 D-cells and weigh approximately 54 kg.
