Utility cars house payload space, but more importantly power banks to accumulate power as the train travels. After the civil war, at least 37 Battery Cars were offline[1]. This suggests that large parts of Snowpiercer are dedicated to power reserves.

History of C0303

  • Car C0303 is where Layton locked the doors so Josie could not pursue him when he ran out of the Clinic with her Access Chip.

Technology

The batteries in the car were developed by Solar Industries in Colorado, USA. They are Lead-acid batteries (6-GFM-200/12V200Ah) encased in a recycled aluminum shell.[2]

Interior

Each car consists of three sections, with double internal bulkheads dividing them. To grant access through the door, a RFID Access Chip must be used. The battery section has several levels of batteries stacked in rows on each side of the car. While blue light illuminates the battery packs, they themselves have red indicators. The Utility section (mainly in the middle of the car) has a storage room divided by two RFID protected bars[2].

Trivia

  • Car C311 caused the Torreta Canyon crisis when a bullet-damaged battery leaked acid and short-circuited the bogie motor's brakes.
  • The lifetime of this kind of battery is around 5-7 years.
  • One of these batteries can charge a iPhone X around 73 times.
  • Each battery has around the same power capacity as a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range.
  • Ironically, the batteries carry "Non Spillable" label.
