London Underground battery-electric locomotives are battery locomotives used for hauling engineers' trains on the London Underground network where they can operate when the electric traction current is switched off.
The capacity of the battery packs, one per car, can be varied between 400kWh and 600kWh depending on the duty required. Lithium titanium oxide (LTO) battery technology is used. For this application using 500kWh battery packs, the unit has a battery-only range of 120km with the battery unlikely to be more than 70% discharged after this distance.
The batteries were supplied by Chloride Electrical Storage Company. Each locomotive weighed 55 tons, and could haul a 60-ton load at 7 km/h (4.3 mph). They were not fitted with current collector shoes, as none of the rails were electrified during construction. Once their task was completed, they were moved by road to the Hampstead Railway.
From 1936, battery locomotives were built as new vehicles, although in most cases, some components, particularly the bogies and motors, were refurbished from withdrawn passenger cars. The batch of nine vehicles supplied by Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company between 1936 and 1938 set the standard for subsequent builds.
The use of batteries for extended operation has typically been constrained by their range and meant widespread implementation has, until now, not been possible. It also negates the need for overhead electric lines which are expensive, time consuming to install and impact the landscape.
For this application using 500kWh battery packs, the unit has a battery-only range of 120km with the battery unlikely to be more than 70% discharged after this distance. Batteries are charged from the 15kV 16 2/3Hz overhead line, regenerative braking and two charging stations at Achern and Biberach stations.
The 34.6kWh unit upgrades LEVC''s eCity powertrain, offering increased capacity (up from 31 kWh) and greater efficiency, with even lower CO2 emissions for the TX and VN5.
Like the 17.5Ah unit, this battery uses LG/Samsung cells - however unlike the 17.5Ah battery, the 20Ah unit has 5000mAh (vs 3500mAh) cells, meaning, in simple terms, each cell contains more power. The total capacity is a whopping …
