Leclanché to supply battery storage system for two hybrid-powered ferries

Green Car Congress

IP65 ingress protection allows the MRS to operate reliably in hostile marine environments. The company develops and manufactures its own graphite/NMC (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide) and LTO (lithium titanate oxide) batteries. The MRS is available in multiple rack heights including: 3, 6, 9 and 10 module variants.
