This locomotive was eventually successful, but only after the voltage on the trolley system was stabilized. [69] A Siemens and Haske pure storage battery locomotive was in use in a coal mine in Gelsenkirchen (Germany) by 1904. [70] One problem with battery locomotives was battery replacement. This was simplified by use of removable battery boxes.
In late 2021, Roy Hill announced plans to test fully-battery-powered heavy-haul locomotives. They envision recharging the batteries while dynamic braking on the heavily-loaded downhill runs. [ 9 ] The first FLXdrive battery-electric locomotive was unveiled at Wabtec's design and development center on 31 October 2023.
