What we do

01 Manufacturers of electric vehicles replace the battery after approx. 8-10 years. The battery packs are picked up directly from the workshop. 02 The battery pack is transported by road or rail via the Deutsche Bahn logistics network to second life processing. 03 The battery pack is dismantled into individual battery modules and the remaining raw materials are recycled or reused. 04 The battery modules are subjected to a safety and quality analysis. They are also analysed for their remaining capacity. 05 Battery modules with sufficient remaining capacity are reused to produce encore second life battery energy storage systems. 06 In their second life, the battery energy storage systems can be used, for example, for storing PV energy, peak shaving, an uninterruptible power supply, stabilising grids, and/or buffering electric vehicle charging points. 07 Battery modules that are unsuitable for a second life are sent to be professionally recycled. 08 The recovered materials are used for the production of new battery cells.
