Ultralife Corporation, a prominent battery manufacturer, is set to showcase its latest subsea battery innovations at Oceanology International London, taking place from 10th to 12th March at the ExCeL Centre.
At Stand L610, attendees will witness live demonstrations of Ultralife’s subsea battery packs, designed to meet the rigorous demands of oil and gas applications such as Logging While Drilling (LWD), Measurement While Drilling (MWD), and pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs). The company’s technical team will be on hand to discuss bespoke power solutions.
The SeaSafe Endurance battery module, a flexible system engineered for integration into pressure vessels, will be a highlight. Recently enhanced to deliver 12% more capacity, this module is ideal for prolonged missions and is applicable to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and oceanographic equipment. Visitors can view the SeaSafe Endurance at Ultralife’s stand and at Prevco Subsea Housings’ stand (D30), where it will be showcased within pressure vessels.
Stephen Ashley, technical sales manager at Prevco Subsea, commented, “The SeaSafe Endurance battery appealed to us because each battery fits neatly into half of one of our pressure vessels. Where more power is required, another battery can be placed on top to fill the vessel, or additional batteries can be placed in adjacent vessels and connected. Also, the batteries are available in 24V, 30V, and 37V configurations, and can be connected in series or parallel, allowing them to support a wide range of voltage and power requirements of vehicles or equipment.”
Leon Adams, VP of Sales and Marketing at Ultralife, noted, “Prevco is an ideal partner for us because the SeaSafe Endurance battery requires a pressure vessel for underwater use. Prevco manufactures vessels out of a diverse range of materials, from PVC and Aluminium to Titanium Grade 5 or AL7075, allowing them to support everything from shallow-water observation ROVs or monitoring equipment to deep-sea exploration AUVs.”
Ultralife will also present its pressure-tolerant subsea battery modules, capable of operating at depths up to 6,000 metres without a pressure vessel. The SeaSafe Direct can be submerged directly in water, while the SeaSafe II is suited for pressure-balanced oil-filled cases. These modular systems facilitate easy connection in series or parallel, offering the desired voltage or capacity. Notably, all SeaSafe batteries provide a fourfold increase in runtime over sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries and feature comprehensive condition-based and safety monitoring via an integrated battery management system.
Beyond subsea modules, Ultralife delivers comprehensive power solutions for the oil and gas sector, including custom battery packs, pressure-tolerant systems, and hazardous-area certification support. The company also provides full lifecycle services, from design and manufacturing to compliance and recycling. Visitors can explore how Ultralife’s power solutions are addressing the needs of subsea and oil and gas companies worldwide.
