PT Powerpod™ contains the batteries, Battery Management System (BMS), charger and ancillaries that can be sized and arranged depending on power requirements, which in turn is based on the operational behaviour and duty cycle of the locomotive. A standard PT Powerpod™ contains 48 cell modules (batteries) and delivers 88 kWh.

For example, an existing project that PTL is currently engaged on involves the installation of up to six PT Powerpod™ onto a locomotive providing a total of 528 kWh of energy. This is more than sufficient to allow an 8-hour cycle of operation without charging. The PT Powerpods™ are 'stacked' to achieve locomotive power requirements, duty cycle and charging intervals.
