Fast Diagnostics to Enable EV Battery Reuse

This project aims to develop a portable test technology to verify SOH of used EV batteries, in the field to enable re-use of battery packs as opposed to materials recycling. Upon completion, this project will deliver a portable sensor technology for lower-cost in-field testing of used electric vehicle (EV) battery health and usability for second-life battery (2LB) applications. Additionally, this project will deliver faster portable battery diagnostics that can increase test throughput by 3x, reduce overall shipping and warehousing requirements by 30%, and reduce overall repurposing costs by 36%, and repurposing 1MWh of batteries reduces emissions by 73 MT CO2E by offsetting new battery manufacturing.
