Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a pressure tolerant energy system. According to one aspect, an underwater vehicle may comprise one or more buoyancy elements, a pressure tolerant cavity, and an energy system enclosed in the pressure tolerant cavity configured to provide electrical power to the vehicle. The energy system may include one or more neutrally buoyant battery cells. In some aspects, the battery cells may have an average density that is about equal to the density of the fluid in which the vehicle is immersed. The vehicle may also comprise a pressure tolerant, programmable management circuit.
