Echandia Core

Maritime batteries optimized for energy applications

Perfect balance between performance and cost

Echandia Core is a high-energy marine battery system designed to deliver the perfect balance between performance, lifetime, and cost. Built on lithium-titanium-oxide (LTO) cell technology, it is engineered for both fully electric and hybrid vessel applications, with minimal degradation and predictable performance over time.

Ultra Lightweight

Up to 50% lighter and significantly smaller than alternatives

Extreme Longevity

Consistent performance throughout the system lifetime

Fast Charging

3C Charge and discharge rates

Modular Scalability

One standardized cell type for simplified system architecture

Designed for demanding operations

Echandia Core is our battery system for both energy-demanding operations, such as fully electric vessels, and hybrid configurations requiring extended reserve capacity. With an operating profile of five to 10 cycles per day, Echandia Core delivers strong price-to-performance for energy-driven applications.

High-voltage design for maximum efficiency

Echandia Core supports system configurations of up to 1,500 volts with higher efficiency and lower losses. Higher voltage operation leads to lower current and thereby losses which means more usable energy from every kilowatt-hour purchased. This capability is currently unique to Echandia in the marine battery market.

For both full electric propulsion and demanding hybrid solutions

Echandia Core is a system powerful enough to serve as the primary energy source for many full electric operations. At the same time, it is ideal for hybrid architectures, enabling spinning reserve, peak shaving, backup power (UPS), and load leveling.

Configuration

High power for short cycles

For vessels that need instant power, repeatedly. Tailored for operations requiring high power output and frequent cycling, more than seven cycles per day. Vessel types: Ferries and RoRo, Container Ships and Tankers.
