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.

Five REBELION solutions for second-life batteries: from dismantling to digital passport
REBELION has released five technology briefs, each presenting one solution developed within the project. Read in sequence, they follow a battery from dismantling to traceability. Lithium-ion batteries from electric mobility are reaching end-of-life in growing numbers. Many still hold enough capacity for a second use, and all contain critical raw materials worth recovering. Getting there […]
Three and a half years of REBELION, in Lyon: meet us at Batteries Event 2026
For three and a half years, the REBELION partners have worked together to give used lithium-ion batteries a second life, and to make recycling them safer and faster when that life is over. From 16 to 18 November 2026, we are bringing all of that work to Lyon. At Batteries Event 2026 you can see […]
REBELION contributes to Circular Battery Cluster’s position paper
REBELION joins BatteReverse, REINFORCE and RECIRCULATE in a new position paper setting out recommendations to close regulatory and standardisation gaps for a circular battery value chain in Europe.
