Second-Life Batteries - Current Applications
Generally speaking, any product where a new battery is used is also suitable for a second-life battery.
Most common applications are where a new Li-ion battery may be too expensive, or where low volumes exclude interested buyers from purchasing batteries from traditional vendors
Second-life batteries are also appealing for projects with ESG requirements
So far, used batteries have found their way into niche applications such as off-grid power banks and wheeled energy storage systems, all the way up to more conventional products like utility-scale BESS arrays.
