Abstract
For conventional electric diesel submarines, during the mission underneath the water surface, the diesel generators cannot be used. Therefore, during the dives, batteries are the only sources of the submarines’ electric power. The electric power consumers consist of systems and major equipment such as propulsion motor, hydraulic pumps, steering consoles and lightning system. The batteries and the batteries support systems are undeniably crucial for the operation of the conventional electric diesel submarines. The batteries are stored in very confined spaces inside submarines. Due to the limitation of working spaces, some tasks to perform for the maintenance of the batteries must be done automatically such as the measurement of each battery cell voltage. Thus, there must be systems to support the operation of the batteries
This paper will describe the specifications and parts of the submarine batteries. The operation of batteries and the charging of batteries when submarines are at home bases and at sea will also be described.
