The demand for Electric Vehicles (EV) is surging in alignment with steps taken by government all across the world and vehicle manufacturers and end-users to reduce global warming impact and to contain climatic changes which brings environmental disasters.As a result of more Electric Vehicles on the roads, more rechargeable EV batteries which contains costly materials are manufactured every year globally.There is an urgent need to tackle the battery waste at the end of life of usage of the EV Batteries without which it will be cause menace and pollution to the environment and public.While research is continuing in all aspects on how to deal with the end-of-1st-life battery cells, there are solutions to utilise these batteries in "2nd-Life" applications. These 2nd-Life batteries typical contain 60% to 70% of remaining life inside the cells. One of the typical application is to use in "Battery Energy Storage Solutions".The innovation of this project "XceLL-Life" is about Extending, Repurposing, Reusing and Re-manufacturing such 2nd-Life EV battery cells and rechargeable battery cells into new products in Industrial and Commercial applications where suitable to prolong the life of the battery cells by using combination of smart design of Battery Management system and Electrical Machine, in applications where Electric Motor is used.This new solution and opportunity helps to play an important role in the "Circular Economy" of repurposing and reusing the 2nd-Life EV Battery and also delays the "Recycling" of battery cell materials and improves the efficiency of the battery materials by going far beyond its prime life and increases the productivity of the resources employed in making the rechargeable batteries.This circular economy of reusing battery cells for new products and applications which is not in use today will bring lot of opportunities in business, R&D, revenues in addition to reducing the product cost.This sustainable UK materials helps in Green Energy initiatives and Industrial decarbonisation strategy and the climatic change and Net-Zero emission policies by the government.This technology plays a vital part in bringing direct and indirect benefits across wide stakeholders and publics in the coming years in tackling the waste of battery cells, environmental pollution, sustaining the battery materials and economies associated with the Circular Economy.

随着世界各国政府、汽车制造商和最终用户为减少全球变暖影响和遏制气候变化带来的环境灾难而采取的措施，电动汽车(EV)的需求正在激增。由于越来越多的电动汽车上路，全球每年都会生产更多含有昂贵材料的可充电电动汽车电池。电动汽车电池使用寿命结束时产生的电池浪费问题迫切需要解决，否则将对环境和公众造成威胁和污染。尽管各方面的研究仍在继续，如何处理第一寿命结束的电池电池，有一些解决方案可以在“第二人生”应用中使用这些电池。这些第二生命电池通常包含电池内60%至70%的剩余寿命。其中一个典型的应用就是应用于“电池储能解决方案”。本项目“Xcell-Life”的创新之处在于利用电池管理系统的智能设计和电机的结合，将第二代电动汽车电池和充电电池扩展、再利用和再制造成适合于工业和商业应用的新产品，以延长电池的寿命，这一新的解决方案和机遇有助于在二次生命电动汽车电池的再利用和再利用的“循环经济”中发挥重要作用，也延缓了电池材料的“回收”，并通过远远超过其使用寿命来提高电池材料的效率，并增加了制造可充电电池的资源的生产率。这种将电池重复使用于新产品和新应用的循环经济将带来大量的商业、研发和开发机会，这种可持续的英国材料有助于绿色能源倡议和工业脱碳战略，以及政府的气候变化和净零排放政策。这项技术在未来几年为广泛的利益相关者和公众带来直接和间接利益，解决电池浪费、环境污染、维持电池材料和与循环经济相关的经济，发挥着至关重要的作用。
