An electric battery for the propulsion of vehicles in an underwater environment, comprising a cylindrical tubular casing (2) defining a main chamber (4) housing an anhydrous electrolyte; intake members (14) to transfer a flow of water from the marine environment to the main chamber (4), to form, following execution of a water-intake command, a liquid electrolyte; a plurality of electrochemical cells (16) housed in the tubular casing (2); a heat exchanger (20) receiving as input electrolyte taken from the main chamber (4) and an outlet (19-c) communicating with an inlet of the electrochemical cells. The heat exchanger (20) is provided in the cylindrical tubular portion and comprises at least one channel (22) made in an inner wall (7) of the cylindrical tubular portion and extending along a helical path coaxial to the axis (8) of the tubular portion.
