REBELION
Not only a second life, but a second purpose for batteries
European Union
The electric mobility paradigm relies on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), posing a significant waste management challenge in the future. However, most lithium-ion batteries that become unusable for mobility would still be suitable for a second life for another decade.
In this context, battery performance assessment is critical in predicting how long and how well decommissioned batteries will perform and whether they can be used in second-life applications cost-effectively.

REBELION Releases New Video on AI-Powered Battery Disassembly
No two batteries are the same, and that makes automated disassembly hard. Watch our new video interview to see how REBELION is using AI-powered robots to solve this challenge.
Too much energy, too little certainty: the second-life batteries paradox
Long after they stop powering cars, lithium-ion batteries still have years of useful life ahead of them. From designer lamps to solar-powered rickshaws, innovative second-life applications are proving their enormous potential. But before repurposing can become the norm, Europe must solve a far less glamorous challenge: deciding who is responsible when something goes wrong.
