After the civil war, at least 37 Battery Cars were offline. This suggests that large parts of Snowpiercer are dedicated to power reserves.


==History of C0997-C0992==

* Car C0996 is the first car to contain access to sub-train for anyone traveling from the tail.<ref>[[First, the Weather Changed|S01E01 - First, the Weather Changed]]</ref>

* Car C0995 is an Electrical junction.


==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. 


== Interior ==

Each car consists of three sections, with double internal bulkheads dividing them. To grant access through the door, RFID Access Chip must be used. The battery section is space with 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.

==Trivia==

* Car C311 caused the Torreta Canyon crisis when bullet-damaged battery leaked acid and short-circuited bogie motor's brakes.

* Lifetime of this kind of battery is around 5-7 years.

* One of these batteries can charge iPhone X around 73 times.

* Each battery has around the same power capacity as Tesla Model 3 Standard Range.

* Ironically, the batteries carry "Non Spillable" label.
