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. Melanie drained the batteries to much trying to escape from Wilford. As a result, the train can never move on it’s own again.

History of C0350

During the Civil War, the C0350 served as a forward jail car, as Brakemen stayed neutral. Melanie Cavill, Clay, Santiago, Mr. Riggs, and others were sent here after they got captured during the revolution.[2]

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.[3]

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.[3]

Trivia

  • 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 a "Non-Spillable" label.
