Second Life Batteries
Repurposing Batteries
Repurposing electric vehicle (EV) batteries is a growing field of interest as the number of EVs on the road increases. When EV batteries reach the end of their life in vehicles, they can still have approximately 80% capacity. Therefore, reusing them in other applications before the end of their full operational life, and recycling them, can extract additional value.
Repurposing Batteries
Second Life Applications
There are several potential applications for these repurposed batteries. For instance, they can be resold as replacements in other EVs and used in car conversions They can also be used as energy storage be in for home of industry application.
Energy Storage
Home Energy Storage
Repurposed EV batteries can be used in homes for energy storage. This allows homeowners to charge at night or store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it at night. This can help reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity and further promote the use of renewable energy sources.
"People are coming to the realisation that the NMC batteries in the vehicles are performing better than expected. All the reports, be it Tesla or others, are showing that they have 90% capacity left when the battery is still 10 years old"
About us
Forecast Demand
With ever increasing forecast for more EV battery a circular economy for battery repurposing is going to be required.
Here at Second Life EV Batteries Ltd are looking into how industry challenges can be resolved and enabling a more simple approch to repurposing can be achived.
