Enabling hospitals, clinics, and businesses that have unreliable or no grid support with second-life batteries. We see a need to transition to Li-ion. Our submission is to propose a Lithium-ion Critical Backup System, cycle
it for the equivalent of 5 years on backup duty in a battery lab, and then test it for solar energy storage for an equivalent of 3 years. These tests would be accelerated to complete in 6-12 months. 2ndLife Batteries has shipped over 9Mwh of used critical power lead-acid and refurbished the batteries in systems in the US, Canada, and Africa.
