Powering energy storage industry with second-life lithium battery cells

We connect energy storage companies with European sources of cells, specifically repurposed from batteries collected from electric mobility brands. We work with premium service providers who offer full cell capacity testing, diagnostics, polishing and modules building services.

Client profiles

Our supplier portfolio includes European battery assemblers, EV and e-mobility manufacturers who have the need to find an end-of-life strategy for their batteries or a solution to properly dispose of batteries they no longer can use. On the other side, we supply clients such as mobile & stationary energy storage companies, battery assemblers, and any other manufacturer looking for a new source of cells for new product development, prototyping, testing.

Contact us if you need a supply of cells, or a solution for giving your battery a second life.

Can’t use repurposed cells? No problem. We have access to new cells that have been collected from cancelled orders or products with casing cosmetic blemishes…

Sourcing of new & refurbished cells

  • Lithium nickel manganese cobalt
    Type: 18650
    Original capacity 3180 mAh
    State of Health: 80% up to 95%
    The most widely used chemistry used for stationary applications.

    The main advantages of the NMC batteries are:
    1. NMC cells provide longer life cycle
    2. Lower cost
    3. Higher energy density NMC cathodes contain the most energy amount by weight and volume.

    The main disadvantages of the NMC batteries are:
    1. Adding silicon to graphite has the downside of making the anode grow and shrink through charging and discharging, leading to mechanical instability of the cell.
    2. Slightly lower voltage than cobalt systems

  • Lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO 4)
    This chemistry benefits from the low resistance properties that enhance their thermal stability and safety. Therefore they are widely used in business, home energy storage applications.

    ”The LFP is ideal for use in electric trucks or buses – as volume or weight isn’t really a restriction as is in cars- because the battery is less energy dense yet cheaper to manufacture than other Li-ion batteries types. In addition, they use LFP batteries in other applications like electric motorcycles which need a longer life cycle and increased safety. LFP provides good electrochemical performance with lower resistance. This is enabled by the nano scale phosphate cathode material.

    The main benefits are long cycle life, higher current rating and thermal stability which means extra safety.” (source: Sinovoltaics.com)

    The main advantages of the LFP batteries are:

    Durability
    Long lifecycle
    Low cost
    Excellent safety

    The main disadvantages of the LFP batteries are:

    More tolerant to conditions of full charge and is less stressed at higher voltage for a long time.

    lower nominal voltage which reduces the specific energy

    Higher self discharge than other types Li-ion batteries, which causes balancing issues with aging

Why?

We have added battery cells to our portfolio for several reasons:

  • The second-life of batteries is still an untapped and growing market in Europe in need of development.

  • There are huge incoming volumes of EV & e-mobility battery cells in need of off-takers, we prevent them from going to waste.

  • We help reduce the mining of rare and critical materials such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements.

  • Accelerating the development of energy storage systems and technologies would ensure larger distribution and prevent extreme price fluctuations, contributing to affordable energy, a priority in tackling energy poverty in the EU.


We achieve this by connecting partners with the right developers and needed supply. As expert networkers in the urban mobility and european industry, our goal is to accelerate the energy transition and support business growth.

The European Commission estimates that the EU will need to store six times more energy to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Market leaders, take the first step

“The stakeholders involved—including battery OEMs, second-life companies, automotive OEMs, and utilities—have an opportunity to shape the ecosystem.

Not only can they identity the value-maximizing path between recycling and reuse, they can develop new business models to fully capture the value at hand.”

Be prepared.

Let’s do this together.

The energy sector is responsible for more than 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing the share of renewable energy across the different sectors of the economy is therefore a key building block to reaching the EU’s energy and climate objectives
