46% light sea battery works at 19,600 feet, packs double power under pressure

SMRTR summary

Kraken Robotics has developed SeaPower, lightweight batteries for subsea operations that work at depths of 19,600 feet while being 46% lighter than traditional options. The batteries use a proprietary polymer encasing to protect components and achieve pressure equalization, delivering twice the energy density and enabling longer underwater missions for robotics and vehicles.
