Submarine Sam comments

Well if they use Toshiba's Lithium Titanate Scib batteries they can cancel out that possibility. Also, the recharge time was only 5 mins! (not 10). I also think they should get a few of the US Virginia Class subs to augment the pure electrics.

They should use Toshiba's Scib Lithium Titanate batteries which are in the Honda Fit EV. For three main reasons these batteries are better than other current Lithium chemistries such as Panasonic's YUASA'S Lithium Ion. 1.Safety (no thermal runaway risk) 2.Faster recharge (90% in 10 mins) 3. Much longer life (number of cycles). They are slightly heavier but in a submarine this won't be a problem. They are several times lighter than lead acid.
