Eliminating the limitation of fixed-height racks provides the flexibility to fully utilize the space available and allows you to fit more battery power within a limited footprint.

  • Low C-rate for slow charge and discharge

  • Low weight

  • Designed for voltages up to 1200 VDC

  • Flexible installation

  • Low life cycle cost  

  • Easy and safe plug and play connections

  • Very flexible and modularized design

  • Passive Single-cell Thermal Runaway protection

  • Scalable capacity and voltage according to vessel requirements

  • Industry-proven Battery Management System (BMS)

  • Remote monitoring capabilities

  • Enhanced EMI immunity design for maritime environments

Next generation marine energy storage, advancing maritime battery technology with the Corvus Dolphin NxtGen ESS.
