The batteries that power the Veeco RT are LiFePO4 lithium ion batteries with capacities from 16 kWh. Becoming only recently available on the market, this battery technology represents in terms of safety a significant step in relation to traditional LiCoO2 lithium ion batteries found in mobile phones, laptops, and other consumer goods.
Allied to the batteries is an electronic monitoring system, developed entirely from scratch for the RT, which protects and monitors the operation of the batteries and informs the driver of the state of charge and other useful information .
