Vessel Energy Set, Container Count, SOC Window, Swap Waves, Recharge Pipeline, Charger Throughput, Grid Capacity & Port Inventory

Marine Swappable Battery Container Sizing, Swap Time & Port Inventory Tool

Size a swappable battery-container set for the vessel, estimate physical exchange time and determine how many containers are tied up ashore while recharging. Advanced mode separates SOC window, battery SOH, discharge/charge efficiency, swap positions, charger count, grid limit and charged-ready buffer so port inventory and recharge throughput are checked against the vessel service schedule.

Need charger count, grid MW and explicit SOC/SOH assumptions? Click Advanced above.Advanced converts mission energy into delivered battery-container energy, models exchange waves, then checks whether the charging plant can replenish the daily container throughput and how much inventory must circulate between vessel, ready buffer and charging pipeline.

Fast Battery Set, Swap & Port Inventory Screen

Simple mode assumes every required onboard container is exchanged at each modeled swap call and uses a fixed 92% recharge efficiency. Use Advanced for explicit SOC, SOH, discharge/charge efficiency, charger count and grid limits.

Battery-Swap Readiness

Battery-swap planning screen only: this tool does not determine battery chemistry suitability, fire safety, hazardous-area classification, lifting certification, structural approval, HV protection, thermal-runaway consequence, damaged-battery transport requirements or regulatory acceptance. Container count and recharge inventory are energy/logistics screens using the entered operating basis.
