Abstract
A power system for a marine vessel includes a plurality of battery cell packs powering a vessel load, including at least a first cell pack and a second cell pack, each battery cell pack comprising a plurality of battery cells encapsulated in an external housing configured to be separately mounted in the hull of the marine vessel. At least one low water sensor is positioned at a lowest point of the marine vessel occupied by at least one of the plurality of battery cell packs. At least one high water sensor is positioned higher on the marine vessel than the low water sensor. At least one hardware controller is configured to detect a submersion event based on an output of the high water sensor and an output of the low water sensor, and generate an ingress mitigation action in response to detection of the submersion event.
