PBES announces the world’s safest marine battery system at Workboat 2015

PBES, a global leader in battery storage for industrial applications, will unveil the world’s safest energy storage. The PBES system will be displayed at the International Workboat Show in New Orleans, December 1 – 3, 2015 in the exhibition hall at the C-Rate Solutions booth number 4669.

“The historic challenge for lithium batteries has always been that they catch fire,” said Brent Perry, chief executive of PBES. “No More. Our team of industry-leading pioneers has developed a solution that effectively stops thermal runaway.”

The system is capable of suppressing and preventing the effect of cascading thermal runaway even in systems that have sustained significant mechanical damage. In multiple tests, without a single failure, PBES has demonstrated kilowatt to megawatt scale ability to completely control and eliminate thermal runaway, a feat that has never before been achieved.

The incorporation of the patent pending Thermal-Stop^TM, CellCool^TM and E-Vent^TM systems, combined with industry leading advanced energy management system, provide safety and protection from the cell level up to the system level. This unique design provides results that have never been achieved by competing lithium-battery technologies.

Modeled on the standards of class group type approval criteria of DNV-GL, Lloyds Register and American Bureau of Shipping, PBES engineered solutions are the template for energy storage for the next twenty years.

PBES solutions are currently offered with NMC and Titanate cell chemistry, with performance starting at 3C RMS, and lifespan up to 10 years. Payback is typically within 1-3 years.
