Battery aging test design during first and second life
Résumé
A significant amount of retired lithium-ion car battery will be
available by 2030. As an opportunity, they could be used to power less
demanding applications while satisfying environmental and economic
goals. Their eligibility to new applications can be assess by the means
of two approaches: performing fast characterization tests or using their
first use history when it is available. Given limited test equipment, a
validation test is designed for both assessment approaches regarding
crucial aspects of first and second life application, retirement point
and fidelity.
