ZEBRA battery technology provides new levels of performance,
capability, safety and cost-effectiveness and is ideal
for surface ships and submersibles/submarines applications.
Individual battery modules are available in configurations
ranging from 24V to 1000V and 2kWh to 50kWh.
ZEBRA uses Sodium/Nickel Chloride battery technology
and is assembled from environmentally benign, non-combustable,
safe-to-handle materials
For Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) submarines, ZEBRA
has many advantages and can deliver double the energy
provided by lead acid batteries, dependent on the compartment
arrangements. This means sprint speeds could be increased
or the additional space used for extra equipment or
increasing AIP endurance.
Features and benefits
- Low through-life costs
- Designed for long-life and reliability
- Not affected by external temperature
- Can be stored fully charged indefinitely
- Lightweight – 40 per cent of lead acid
- High energy density
- High power density
- Zero maintenance
- No emissions under any condition
Recently selected to power the Submarine Rescue Vehicle
(Part of the submarine rescue system) the additional
energy of ZEBRA increases the crafts top speed by 20
per cent and enables it to operate in much stronger
currents with almost twice the endurance.

Selected to
power the SRV of the NSRS system
The 27 tonne SRV is powered by Zebra batteries
which increases the crafts top speed by 20 per
cent and almost doubles its endurance. |
