Problem
Traditional lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles often end up as waste due to the high cost and complexity of recycling, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion. Current recycling methods are energy-intensive and result in significant CO2 emissions.
Solution
Daurema manufactures repairable and reconditionable lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles, utilizing second-life lithium cells sourced from European partners. Their batteries are designed for easy disassembly and repair, with some models featuring solderless connections for increased reliability. By re-using approximately 70% of the lithium cells from used batteries, Daurema creates a short recycling loop with significantly reduced CO2 emissions, producing batteries with performance comparable to new ones. Daurema also offers a repair and refurbishment service, allowing customers to return batteries for maintenance and extending their lifespan.
