Who We are
Welcome to Second Life EV Batteries Ltd, a UK-based pioneer in the sustainable reuse and repurposing of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Founded in 2017, we are on a mission to drive the circular economy forward by giving used batteries a vital second life—extending their utility, minimizing waste, and accelerating the transition to a greener planet. In an era where EV adoption is skyrocketing (with global sales growing at a 29% CAGR according to Deloitte), we recognize that these batteries retain up to 80-90% capacity even after a decade of use, as evidenced by reports from leaders like Tesla. Our work ensures these valuable resources aren't discarded prematurely but instead deliver ongoing environmental and economic benefits.
What We Do
What We Do
At the heart of our operations is the expert collection, testing, and repurposing of EV batteries from brands like Tesla, Volkswagen, and more. We simplify a complex industry landscape by providing end-to-end solutions that extract maximum value before full recycling becomes necessary. Our process addresses key challenges in battery second-life applications, making repurposing accessible, safe, and scalable.

Collection and Sourcing: We partner with EV owners, fleets, and dismantlers to responsibly collect high-quality used batteries, ensuring they meet rigorous standards for reuse.
Safety and Innovation: As the official UK dealer for EMUS Battery Management Systems (BMS), we prioritize safety in every project. This CE Approved EMUS BMS solutions are a game-changer, enabling secure repurposing of a huge range of EV module that often have usual voltages and balance current requirements. This BMS is perfect for adding robust protection to cost-effective setups.
Repurposing for New Applications: We transform these batteries into reliable power sources for diverse needs:
- EV Replacements and Conversions: Reselling modules as direct substitutes for damaged or aging EV packs, or integrating them into classic car electrification projects.
- Energy Storage Systems: Powering homes and businesses with off-grid solutions—charge at night with low-cost electricity, store excess solar energy, and reduce reliance on the national grid to champion renewables.- Industrial and Commercial Uses Supporting backup power, peak shaving, and renewable integration for factories, data centers, and more.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We're more than a repurposing specialist—we're stewards of a low-carbon future. By extending battery lifespans, we cut down on raw material extraction, lower manufacturing emissions, and divert thousands of tonnes of e-waste from landfills annually. Our environmental ethos powers everything from blog insights on "The Second Life of Used EV Batteries" to active participation in industry events like MOVE (where we speak on second-life lithium), the Complete Auto Recycling Show, Fully Charged clean energy expos, and the UKRI's Driving the Electric Revolution program.
