Elfa Supports Solar Boat Twente During Monaco Energy Boat Challenge

Elfa Elementenfabriek is pleased to announce that we have supplied an advanced battery pack for Solar Boat Twente, which participated in the prestigious Monaco Energy Boat Challenge from July 1-6. This event, known for its focus on sustainability and technological innovation in the maritime sector, provided an excellent platform to demonstrate our technological capabilities.

The battery pack we supplied has a configuration of 14 cells in series (14S) and 7 parallel (7P), resulting in a voltage level of 50.4V and a capacity of 35Ah (1764Wh). Thanks to liquid cooling and software-based limiting via a Battery Management System (BMS), the pack complies with all official regulations. Furthermore, the pack is over-dimensioned, allowing it to easily support a maximum peak power of 160A for 2-3 minutes. In fact, our pack can even deliver 245A for 3 minutes.

"At Elfa, we are always looking for ways to promote innovation and sustainability. Our collaboration with Solar Boat Twente in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge is a perfect example of how technology can make a difference."

- Olaf Bitter, Technical Account Manager at Elfa

These technological advantages enabled Solar Boat Twente to perform at a high level during the challenge. Our contribution to this project underscores our commitment to innovation and sustainability, for example, in the maritime sector. We are proud of the Solar Boat Twente team's achievements.
