The battery pods provide Triton's electrical power. Each pod contains a lithium polymer battery pack and a custom printed circuit board to handle battery monitoring and safety. The pod has two underwater connectors, one for charging, the other for discharging. While in use on the vehicle, only the discharge connector is plugged in. The charge connector allows for the batteries to be charged without opening the pod. A pressure relief valve prevents any excess buildup of pressure during charging.
