Key features
High-Energy Lithium-Ion Technology
- High energy density, enabling increased submarine endurance.
- Reduced weight and volume compared with traditional lead-acid batteries.
- Fast recharging capability and high energy efficiency.
Enhanced Safety
- Integrated Battery Management Systems (BMS) to monitor voltage, temperature, and state of charge.
- Architecture designed to meet the most stringent naval safety requirements.
- Compartmentalization and multiple protection mechanisms to ensure safe operation.
Operational Performance
- Ability to deliver high power output during critical navigation and mission phases.
- Reliable operation in harsh marine environments.
- Long service life with a high number of charge/discharge cycles.
The Xcelion 6T® rechargeable Li-Ion batteries provide double-usable capacity than lead-acid batteries in the same footprint. They are designed for applications such as electric mobility and stationary power.
Saft batteries are specifically designed for applications requiring high power discharge, such as torpedoes and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs).
Sea water-activated batteries, as well as silver-zinc and AgO-Al (silver oxide-aluminum) technologies, are used for torpedo propulsion.
Rechargeable lithium-ion modules are ideally suited for applications requiring maximum power from high energy density cells, while providing very fast recharge capability.

Système de stockage
Saft energy storage systems are primarily designed to mitigate the intermittent nature of solar, wind, or hydro power plants, enhancing the value of the kilowatt hours generated and making power generation dispatchable.
1.5 GWh of Saft’s wind and solar co-located BESS installed.
0.3€/kWh: generation cost per kWh of large-scale PV combined with storage.
Our solutions provide smoothing and ramp control to effectively manage these fluctuations. In addition, they offer energy block shaping and shifting, storing clean energy during periods of excess production and making it available during peak demand periods when prices are high.
