Echandia

Last week, two of our battery systems for a NATO navy’s new coastal hydrographic vessels passed their Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). The systems are now approved and about to leave our facility for delivery to the shipyard. On board, the batteries will handle peak shaving, smooth out load swings from propulsion and thrusters during maneuvering, and act as a power reserve so the generators can start and stop automatically. #MarineBatteries #NavalVessels #PeakShaving #FAT #CleanTech #Defence

Could battery efficiency save millions? A small difference in battery efficiency can have a major impact on operating costs. For a fully electric ferry, the difference between 90% and 98% Round-Trip Efficiency can represent nearly €4.9 million in electricity savings over 10 years. Yet efficiency is often overlooked when selecting marine battery systems. Our new white paper explains how Round-Trip Efficiency affects energy consumption, operating costs, and long-term battery economics. You’ll find the download link in the comments.

Since 2020, Echandia-powered waterbuses have operated year-round in central Copenhagen, with frequent departures and fast charging. After seven years of continuous service in cold Nordic conditions, the vessels maintain 97,7% battery capacity. This kind of operational data has informed the next generation of Echandia battery systems.

Echandia battery systems support ultra-fast charging and discharging, enabling high-power performance in short intervals. This allows high-frequency operations, while maintaining performance and lifetime under repeated cycling. In Copenhagen, seven Echandia-powered vessels have retained 97,7% of their original battery capacity after seven years of continuous operation in Nordic conditions.

Echandia-powered waterbuses have operated in central Copenhagen since 2020, maintaining 97,7% battery capacity despite low winter temperatures, frequent charging, and demanding inner-city duty cycles. Operational data from these vessels form the foundation for the next generation of Echandia battery systems, designed for reliable ferry operations and predictable cost of ownership.
