Second-life batteries:

An industry-scale storage system with second-life batteries

Voltfang Industrial offers a commercial storage system at the battery module level that relies solely on used lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles. The system is compatible with battery modules of various types, sizes, and voltage ranges. The proprietary master battery management system can communicate with and continue to harness the module BMS. With performance sufficient for storage applications like PV self-consumption, peak load shaving is a potential market.

Extending the useful service life of EV batteries in stationary applications, considerably reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Voltfang’s concept covers all relevant steps of the value chain of second-life systems, including a testing procedure to determine the quality and safety of the batteries, advanced engineering and the ability of the system to integrate second-life batteries from different manufacturers.
