Saft’s new Seanergy battery range is developed specifically for civil marine propulsion applications including ferries, offshore support, cruise-liners, cargo ships and work boats.

Didier Jouffroy, marine products and applications manager, Saft, said: “The Seanergy modules comply with best practice. This certification is effectively mandatory for the use of Li-ion batteries in the marine industry and it is important step in the commercialisation of our Seanergy solution.”

Seanergy has been developed to offer the proven safety and performance of SLFP chemistry in a fully integrated solution designed specifically for civil marine propulsion installations.

Some of the key advantages of Saft SLFP cell technology for marine applications include increased safety, light weight and compact size, high efficiency, long calendar and cycling life, fast-charging capability and high power output and the ability to deliver high voltages.

Saft is an ‘end to end’ manufacturer of cells, modules and systems. This complete overview enables Saft to take responsibility for the total quality control of every aspect of design, development, testing and delivery of the complete marine battery solution, effectively offering a ‘one-stop-shop’ for customers.

The company has over 20 years of experience in delivering safe and reliable Li-ion solutions in the exacting spaceflight and satellite sectors, so it is able to bring this experience to the marine sector also.
