Scheduled operation with the new battery system will be in May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Echandia will supply a 3.2 MWh LTO battery system to replace the previous 4.3 MWh NMC system. The new system is designed for a 15-year lifetime and features multiple daily fast-charging cycles at high efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased that Echandia has secured the tender. We see them as a trusted partner with a well-suited battery system for this type of application. The Echandia solution meets our requirements for long lifetime, high roundtrip efficiency, and maximum safety,\u201d says Allan Filtenborg from \u00c6r\u00f8f\u00e6rgerne.<\/p>\n<p>Echandia\u2019s LTO (lithium-titanate oxide) technology is well-suited for high-frequency, fast-charging RoPax ferry operations, where reliability is critical. The system supports very high C-rates, enabling over 20,000 charge cycles and charging in around 25 minutes. It is an improvement of 10 minutes per charging session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project demonstrates Echandia\u2019s knowledge and other capabilities as an established marine supplier,\u201d says Torbj\u00f6rn B\u00e4ck, CEO at Echandia. \u201cWe will deliver and commission an optimized complete battery system within six months, making sure the vessel is ready for summer operations 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Echandia says that the Ellen battery replacement project proves that upgrading earlier-generation batteries with modern systems is both technically and financially viable, offering longer lifetime, higher efficiency, and the highest standards of safety.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/pioneering-e-ferry-ellen-will-get-a-new-echandia-battery-system\/\">Pioneering e-ferry Ellen will get a new Echandia battery system<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/pioneering-e-ferry-ellen-will-get-a-new-echandia-battery-system\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=pioneering-e-ferry-ellen-will-get-a-new-echandia-battery-system\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pioneering e-ferry Ellen will get a new Echandia battery system Echandia has been selected to deliver a new battery system for the pioneering Danish e-ferry Ellen.
