ABattReLife – Causes of battery aging

Project /

While the new generation of batteries that are emerging, ABattReLife consortium was going to gather automotive industry players, together with strong academic institutions in order to assess the technological barriers for a better battery life cycle as well as the most appropriate technologies to ensure a re-use of the batteries at the end of the optimal life cycle. During a period of three years the 10 partners of EU project ABattReLife studied in five project steps what causes aging of electric vehicle batteries and what could stop the aging process or at least slow it down. Also they were looking for secondary uses or a final recycling of aged batteries.
