SEACRAFT air-travel
batteries
Traveling by commercial plane with DPV was always a struggle. Low-capacity NiMh batteries that were
allowed on board, are even 70 % weaker than modern Li-Ion cells. The energy density of NiMh battery
reaches 100 Wh/Kg, while Li-Ion designs allow for even 270 Wh/kg Big and powerful Li-Ion batteries are
unfortunately forbidden to transport by passenger planes due to safety reasons.
SEACRAFT’s modular air-travel friendly battery consists of 6 to 8 segments with 97 Wh capacity. Each
segment contains its own battery management and protection system and is certi昀椀ed with UN 38.3.
According to IATA (International Air Transport Association) recommendation, up to 20 such segments can
be taken into the hand luggage
The total capacity of 582 Wh (6 segments) and 780 Wh (8 segments) provides very good runtime and
performance, allowing to perform long-range dives The same segments are used in both GO! and Future
air-travel batteries, allowing to use of the same segments for traveling with one of these units
