Problem
Current methods for battery recycling and reuse are inefficient, failing to fully assess the condition of individual cells within battery packs. This leads to suboptimal reuse or premature recycling, resulting in wasted resources and higher CO₂ emissions.
Solution
Circu Li-ion offers an automated battery upcycling process that dismantles, disassembles, and diagnoses battery packs to determine the state of health of individual cells. This approach enables informed decisions about battery reuse or recycling, maximizing the value of each battery and minimizing waste. By accurately assessing cell condition, Circu Li-ion facilitates the reuse of viable cells, reducing the need for new battery production and lowering CO₂ emissions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are electric vehicle manufacturers, micromobility companies, power tool manufacturers, energy storage system providers, and battery recycling companies.
