Which batteries are best suited for powering ships?

Currently, Lithium-ion batteries are best suited for powering ships. However, there are many different types of Lithium-ion batteries, each of them optimized for a different type of application. In maritime battery systems we mainly use NMC, LFP and LTO. The smallest building block of a battery system is the battery cell.

How do I choose a battery system for a ship?

When selecting a battery system for a ship, what matters most is how the battery will be used regarding the required energy, (dis)charge power and the number of times the batteries will be charged and discharged, also known as the number of cycles.

Are all batteries suitable for all types of ships?

All batteries can be used for all types of ships, but some are more suitable than others depending on factors such as weight, volume and costs.
