Kraken Robotics announces that it has received orders totaling $13 million for SeaPowerTM subsea batteries from existing clients. Rated for depths up to 6,000 meters, Kraken’s subsea batteries provide up to twice the energy density and weigh 46% less per kWh than traditional pressure-housed batteries.
“With underwater robotics, there are always design trade-offs between size, weight, power and cost requirements,” said Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken Robotics. “To increase endurance, designers typically need to increase the size and weight of a vehicle. But with Kraken’s SeaPower batteries, they can get the best of both worlds, providing some of the highest energy density and most cost-effective subsea energy storage systems available. Our batteries are in active use worldwide and have been field proven by customers in commercial and defense, often doubling the endurance of their vehicles when compared to alternative solutions.”
