ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND — Kraken Robotics Inc., Canada’s Ocean Company, has received an order for subsea batteries from a manufacturer of AUVs. The order is valued at $1.1 million and is a follow-on from a $4.8 million order from the same customer earlier this year.

For confidentiality reasons, Kraken did not disclose the customer’s name.

Delivery is expected in the fourth quarter.

Kraken’s SeaPower 6,000-m-rated pressure tolerant batteries are based on Kraken’s pressure tolerant gel encapsulation technology for lithium polymer batteries. This company said this provides an environmentally friendly and superior energy density alternative to the traditional oil compensated batteries commonly used for deep subsea battery applications. Kraken’s hot swappable batteries are modular and include an integrated battery management system within each battery module.
