Lehmann Marine Secures First Commercial Order for Liquid-Cooled Battery System
Germany’s Lehmann Marine has secured its first commercial order for its new liquid-cooled AQUBE battery system from shipbuilder Lloyd Werft.
The system will be installed on a new research vessel being built for the German Aerospace Center, the firm said in a press release on Wednesday.
The 48 m vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2027 and will be used to test different propulsion technologies, including hydrogen, hybrid and fully electric systems.
The vessel will operate as a floating test platform in the North and Baltic Seas and will carry up to 20 researchers and industry partners.
AQUBE uses liquid cooling and lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry. It can deliver up to 2C peak power and 1.5C continuous power.
Lehmann Marine said the order marks the market launch of AQUBE.
The company, which became part of Sunlight Group, said the system is also intended for wider marine applications, including ferries, offshore vessels and commercial ships.
