Custom-made to fit specific energy and power needs Every application is different, therefore Saft customizes each system to fit the requirements for power and energy. Applications requiring high energy need power over long periods of time, such as running an undersea vehicle during its mission. Some applications require high power bursts to complete a given task such as launching a missle, or starting an aircraft’s engine. Saft’s energy storage systems are able to meet these varying requirements with custom solutions. High energy systems Designed for military and space applications...
