Repurpose Or Recycle: Test Methods For Evaluating Batteries After Their First Life
Batteries have a tremendous opportunity to be repurposed after their first life. Understanding a battery’s SOH (State of Health) is key to its second life opportunity. If the battery SOH is too low for a second (or third) life, proper preparation of the battery for recycling can make the process safer and more efficient. Join… Read more »
