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 later drained the batteries to much trying to escape from Wilford. As a result, the train can never move on it’s own again and has no energy reserves to restart the bogie motors. However before the Pirate train was created, Bojan Boscovic said Big Alice has enough juice for systems to survive. Which means Big Alice must have recharged the batteries, some point after the sabotage of the Engine and is powering Snowpiercer.
History of C0778-C0779
- Car C0778 is the car where Erik Sotto was killed by Jackboots. The same car later caused the Torreta Canyon Crisis when its hydraulic system went haywire.
- Car C0779 is where Andre Layton threatened to kill Melanie Cavill.
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]. The Sub-Train is accessible in the battery section, by a hatch in the floor.
Appearances
- Season One
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.
