SubCtech Achieves 50kW Continuous Power for 600 V-Class AUV Battery System

SubCtech has reached a significant technical milestone by successfully demonstrating a continuous output of 50 kW from its 600 V-class AUV battery system. This achievement was part of a project aimed at developing a high-voltage, high-discharge-rate battery and charger system for underwater platforms, which required the system to operate at 35 °C for at least 45 minutes. The successful demonstration not only met but exceeded the customer's requirements, as the battery system delivered the necessary power for over 50 minutes without any thermal throttling. This marks SubCtech's entry into the 600 V-class battery segment and showcases the scalability of its existing technology to meet higher power demands. Looking ahead, SubCtech's achievement highlights its capability to innovate within established technology frameworks. The company plans to leverage this milestone to further enhance its offerings in the underwater robotics market. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
