Kraken - Pressure Tolerant Encapsulated Components Brochure

Kraken Robotics (through its invest company, Kraken Power) has developed a new method of creating cost and space efficient pressure tolerant electronics and batteries.  Kraken’s pressure tolerant batteries use Lithium-Polymer cells which are encapsulated by a durable silicone polymer that remains flexible, yet stable under pressure. This method of encapsulation allows Kraken to reduce the size and weight of traditional subsea battery packs by not requiring the cells to be located inside pressure housings or flooded with oil. As such, the battery design is no longer constrained by dimensions of the pressure or oil housings. They can now be contoured to better fit the shape of the vehicle, which improves packing efficiency and increases volumetric density. Ultimately, this technology reduces the size of high density battery packs for underwater vehicles and dramatically reduces the cost and weight versus traditional subsea batteries.
