Abstract:

The material recycling of LiFePO4 batteries has low value; hence, the only way to maximize their value is to reuse them. In this study, a three-stage simulation test is established with different loads to verify the reuse feasibility of LiFePO4 batteries. The experiment results show that all samples can regularly attenuate before the capacity retention rate becomes higher than 50%. The individual samples suffer from sudden death when the capacity decays to less than 50%. Based on research on the battery decay law during the test, proposals are suggested for the application scenarios of LiFePO4 batteries at different stages.

Key words: traction batteries, LiFePO4/C, multi-stage reuse, reuse applications
