Batteries That Work.

The way our customers need them to.

Shift’s flexible design provides a solution for every type of ship, and every type of customer. Keeping you safe in the harshest environments in the world – everyday.

Safety

Our batteries never catch fire. Isn't that the way it should be?

Integrated Cooling CellCool© system, enables all cells to consistently operate at optimal temperature. Reverses thermal runaway incident within a cell or block of cells and extends cell life for maximum value to the customer. Cell Level Cooling Each cell is encased in its own cooling channel.  The result - we pull heat out faster then the lithium chemistry can generate it. Gas Extraction Shift uses a uni-direction valve connected to the duct in the rack, without the possibility of back blow, safely removing any potential for fire.

Testing

Fire Prevention Testing

A nail penetration test is the worst thing you can do to a lithium battery cell. It causes the entire cell to fail spontaneously and instantly. The cell in the module is failing as dramatically as the unmanaged cell but is instead being controlled by Shift safety mechanisms. The adjacent cells in the module did not reach high internal temperatures and remained undamaged. All gasses are safely released through the ventilation system in the back of the module.

Installation Options

Practical Electrification

Manufactured for consistency.  Customized for each customer.

Size Options Shift battery solutions come in a modular format, containerized, or via PwrSwäp ePods. Containerized ESS is a fully mobile end to end Microgram, containing DC Energy Storage and all of the AC power equipment needed to power your application. PwrSwäp ePod’s offer a pay-as-you-go subscription service option for electrification. Modular Design The Shift racking system is modular, built one module at a time. An integrated racking system provides protection for cooling, ventilation, communications and the battery modules. Flexible Fit Systems are designed for the space available and can be built in a variety of arrangements.

Cellswäp

Reducing our net carbon impact

Reducing our net carbon impact. Instead of replacing the system every 10 years, we re-use primary components and replace and recycle only the cells.

Cellswäp© by Shift 75% net carbon reduction

Retrofit Process
Rebuild the inside of a battery onboard  to save money.

Recycling
Replace only the cells at the end of the system life instead of the whole system.

Quality & Performance
Lower battery cost, reduced size and performance guaranteed for life.

Competitor 1800 kg of metal waste

ESS must be replaced in their entirety.  1MWh system = 1800kg of metal waste
