This project explored the feasibility of using second-life batteries for stationary storage. We conducted technical, commercial, and financial studies to establish the basis for this. We developed a design tool to choose suitable battery cells or modules based on aging mechanisms.

Currently, second-life car batteries are preferably used for larger applications in the industrial sector (storage capacity in the MWh range) for grid stabilization, peak shaving, or as energy storage for the improved use of renewable energies.
