According to the company, the system can also be scaled for fully electric propulsion on tenders, chase boats and support craft.The battery architecture is intended to accommodate vessels of varying sizes, with configurations ranging from compact single-rack installations for yachts from around 50 metres LOA to multi-bank installations for yachts exceeding 100 metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400344/image/large-bc7bbdf1e4cc39b300560a65b7f52797.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400344">Each battery module stores 9.8 kWh of energy, while the overall system can be configured from 39 kWh up to 4.2 MWh.

Remote monitoring and diagnostics are also supported.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400346/image/large-aaf3d5c0c291d78db19fc3974e74c9de.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400346">The ES10M has an IP67 ingress protection rating at module level and has been designed to meet maritime-grade electromagnetic compatibility standards. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd's Register</a> class compliance is currently in progress.
