Batteries reuse & repurpose value chain

TREASoURcE explores the potential for use of second life electric vehicle (EV) batteries as energy storage systems.

Demonstrating and validating the usage of second life electric vehicle batteries for energy storage


Currently, replacing damaged electric vehicle (EV) batteries with used, fully functioning battery packs is prohibited by most car manufacturers and workshops due to warranty issues. TREASoURcE studies the possibilities for the use of such second life battery packs for energy storage in other applications in order to avoid recycling of the batteries back to the original elements with significant material losses in the process.
