Power

Pressure compensated lead-acid storage batteries eliminate the need for heavy, bulky, expensive pressure housings for many underwater applications. This paper is focused on advancements in the venerable leadacid battery.

The idea is power under pressure. If storage batteries can be made to work across the extremes of pressure, the need for heavy, bulky, expensive housings is eliminated, and power can be delivered within smaller weight and space constraints, with arguable improvements in system safety.
