Re: [EVDL] What is the expected lifetime of used electric car batteries in a battery farm?

I was wondering if you could expand on this statement. Is it something like the Leaf switchover to "lizard cells", or something else? Thanks, Jay On March 6, 2017 3:50:33 PM EST, Cruisin via EV wrote: > Volt is the easiest to >work >with, but modules made before 2015 is not

Re: [EVDL] What is the expected lifetime of used electric car batteries in a battery farm?

I have found that Li-ion batteries that have been used vary depending on the car salvaged from. The LEAF battery has the highest failure rate and shortest life span. When buying used there is the possibility that they have been abused or shorted. Afterwards the voltage will rise back to what looks

Re: [EVDL] What is the expected lifetime of used electric car batteries in a battery farm?

Unlike lead-acid batteries, that seemingly fall off of a cliff when they die, li-ion batteries slowly and steadily decline in capacity as they age. Li-ion batteries steadily lose capacity both with age and with the number of cycles. They lose capacity a bit more quickly at first, and then a

[EVDL] What is the expected lifetime of used electric car batteries in a battery farm?

Consider the use of used electric car Lithium batteries for electric storage in a battery farm. Suppose the batteries are removed from the car after losing 20-30% of their range and moved to a climate controlled, shock and vibration free environment and where the rate of charging/discharging is
