Marine propulsion is no longer just a choice between diesel and electric. It is moving toward integrated energy systems — batteries that charge fast, last for years, and manage power intelligently across every onboard demand. This shift is what sits behind Navalt's expansion of its battery portfolio with STING LTO battery pack, a system built specifically for the realities of commercial marine operations. 

Electric and hybrid vessels are transforming the future of marine transportation. At the heart of that shift is a reliable battery system that enables faster charging, longer service life, and dependable performance under demanding marine conditions. STING is designed to meet exactly that standard, powered by Class NK Type Approved Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery technology. 

With a modular design and scalable capacities ranging from 2 kWh to 1 MWh, STING can be tailored to a wide range of vessel types and operating requirements—from passenger ferries to larger commercial vessels. 

STING LTO Design Innovation 

• Modular, scalable by design: Configurable across three voltage tiers 

so, the system scales with the vessel rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all build. 

• Rapid charging: Charges to approximately 80% capacity in around 12 minutes (Up to 4C), minimizing downtime between trips.

   

• Long cycle life: Rated for 20,000+ charge/discharge cycles, supporting years of high-utilization service. 

  
  

• Wide operating window: Performs reliably across a temperature range of -30°C to 45°C, with the ability to use the full 0–100% state-of-charge range.

  
  

• Built-in safety: LTO chemistry carries an inherently low risk of fire or explosion compared to graphite-anode lithium-ion batteries. Each unit is housed in flame-retardant enclosures with integrated monitoring for cell voltage, temperature, and current, plus protective architecture, contactors, leak detection, and disconnects designed to isolate the system the moment an abnormality is detected. 

  
  

• NK Type Approved: Independently verified against marine safety and reliability standards, giving operators the confidence to integrate STING LTO battery pack into vessels. 

Intelligent Energy Management 

A battery is only as effective as the system managing it. 

STING combines advanced battery technology with intelligent energy management software that continuously monitors energy demand and controls how stored power is used. The software coordinates charging from onboard power sources — including generators and renewable energy systems such as solar panels — to ensure energy is used efficiently rather than wasted. 

By automatically determining when to charge, discharge, or reserve stored energy, STING helps optimize fuel consumption while ensuring dependable power is always available for critical onboard systems. 

Powering the Future of Marine Operations 

As the maritime industry continues its transition toward cleaner and more efficient operations, battery energy storage is becoming an essential part of modern vessel design. 

STING represents more than a battery system — it is an integrated energy management solution that helps operators reduce fuel costs, lower emissions, improve generator efficiency, and increase operational flexibility. 

By combining its expertise in electric propulsion with Toshiba's proven NK Type Approved LTO cells, Navalt continues to deliver practical solutions for the evolving needs of the marine industry. 

Whether supporting hybrid propulsion, providing standalone onboard power, or working alongside conventional generators, STING LTO battery pack is designed to help vessel owners make the transition toward smarter, cleaner, and more efficient marine operations with confidence.
