Lithium batteries are central to a number of low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage applications, with their load shifting capabilities poised to play a critical role in the dynamic and integrated energy systems of the future. With electric vehicles now generating volume sales (\>1.26m in circulation globally), and the earliest models now approaching end of life, opportunities surrounding secondary applications now merit greater investigation. With high recycling costs, and batteries still retaining 70% capacity post transport application, there are strong economic and environmental reasons to find secondary applications for used lithium batteries.The 18 month Li.2 project, led by UK SME Powervault and supported by consortium partners Loughborough University and G&P Batteries, will investigate the processes involved in recovery and reconfiguration of second life batteries, how these can be scaled to realise maximum efficiencies, and deepen understanding of second life cells to evaluate potential for new service offerings, new product offerings, and build up remanufacturing expertise on a key commodity.

锂电池是许多低碳技术的核心，如电动汽车、消费电子产品和固定存储应用，其负载转移能力将在未来的动态和综合能源系统中发挥关键作用。随着电动汽车的大量销售（全球销量为126万辆），以及最早的车型即将寿终正寝，围绕二次应用的机会现在值得更多的研究。由于回收成本高，并且电池在运输后仍保留70%的容量，因此有很强的经济和环境理由为废旧锂电池寻找二次应用。为期18个月的Li.2项目由英国中小企业Powervault领导，由联盟合作伙伴拉夫堡大学和G&P电池公司支持，将调查二次寿命电池的回收和重新配置过程，如何扩大规模以实现最大效率，并加深对二次寿命电池的理解，以评估新服务产品和新产品的潜力，并建立关键商品的再制造专业知识。
