When the lithium-ion battery in the e-bike and electric car has had its day, it can be used for so-called second-life storage. One way is to test the individual battery cells and assemble them into new batteries. Thanks to faster testing methods, this way should become more economical.
The second-life battery industry has an established process, whereby all battery packs, once they have passed the post-auto battery assessment, undergo further SoH testing to determine the most suitable
For a typical EV battery at 50 kWh, maintaining 70% of total capacity and reaching 35 kWh before being reused as a second life until 25–30 years of operation, the total savings, including the initial cost of a brand-new battery that would be purchased and the metals recycled, equal to half the price of the brand-new battery [14,28].

Although manufacturers can now guarantee a service life of eight to ten years for lithium-ion batteries, sooner or later they too will have to be recycled. In a project supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), the Swiss electric vehicle manufacturer Kyburz Switzerland AG and Empa have set themselves the goal of recycling

Operators of these stand-alone grid networks are thus potential customers for second-life battery storages. Lithium ion batteries are well suited for rural power supply due to their cycle stability without a significant loss of capacity over a long service life and the accompanying low maintenance effort. Cham, Switzerland: 2018. pp. 289
The research will focus on three areas: extending a battery''s lifespan, finding them a second life, and recovering and recycling materials. DESL will be involved on the topic of second-life battery applications of the project.

Seven Swiss research institutions and 24 companies are joining forces to look for ways to boost sustainability in all stages of a battery''s life cycle. The project is part of the newly launched Flagship Initiative of Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency.
While there are options for reusing batteries in second life applications, there will ultimately be the need to recycle them. There are four main recycling methods that are actively being researched or in use in industry: (i) pyrometallurgy, (ii) hydrometallurgy, (iii) biometallurgy and (iv) direct recycling.
The processes of disassembly and remanufacture for second life use also add environmental burdens, although these are considered to be much smaller than those for manufacturing new batteries (Cicconi et al., 2012b). Several studies have analysed the environmental benefits of SLBs.
These batteries have many viable applications in a second life format; for example, to provide an energy store within our grid energy networks, to complement the intermittent loading associated with renewable energy harvesting methods (Zhu et al., 2021a; Martinez-Laserna et al., 2018).
Lithium-ion battery 2nd life used as a stationary energy storage system: ageing and economic analysis in two real cases. J. Clean. Prod. 272, 122584. doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.122584 Ramoni, M. O., and Zhang, H.-C. (2013). End-of-life (EOL) issues and options for electric vehicle batteries. Clean. Technol. Environ.
The wide range of second-life applications means that the requirements vary enormously. Moreover, each battery will have a unique SoH state, taking into consideration all viable degradation mechanisms, and the range of operational characteristics that it may have been exposed to in its first life.
By extending the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries through reuse and repurposing, the immediate need for recycling is reduced, lessening the environmental impact associated with recycling processes and reducing the risk of large-scale LiB disposal because no viable alternative pathway exists.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
