Study on the technical and economic feasibility of echelon use of waste power batteries used in new energy vehicles in China

Abstract

The echelon use of power batteries is considered as an efficient recycling method which can effectively extend the service life of power batteries and reduce costs. The echelon use of power batteries is encouraged by national policies and widely concerned in the industry so it has quickly became a hot spot among the issue about industry development. This article compares and analyzes the battery standard requirements for power batteries and the intended application fields of echelon use and the economics of using lead-acid batteries and decommissioned power batteries in different application fields. This article initially draws the conclusions about the technical and economic feasibility of echelon use of power batteries.
