Why second-life batteries?

second-life battery storage for a sustainable future

On the way to a sustainable future, innovation often lies not in creating new things, but in redesigning things that already exist. second-life batteries are a perfect example of this thought process. They offer a powerful, cost-effective and sustainable solution to the growing demand for energy storage. At modual, we are proud to play a pioneering role in this important field as the largest Swiss manufacturer of second-life battery technology with our innovative DC and AC battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The value of second-life batteries

When a car battery in an electric vehicle (EV) reaches the end of its useful life, it still has up to 80% of its original capacity. Although these batteries are no longer ideal for electric vehicles, they are far from spent. Reusing these batteries for stationary energy storage applications not only extracts the maximum value from the materials and energy invested in their manufacture, but also delays the need for recycling, thereby reducing the environmental impact.

This approach supports a broader circular economy in which resources are reused and redeployed to minimise waste. It aligns perfectly with sustainability goals, as it addresses the global need to reduce our collective carbon footprint while matching the rising demand for renewable energy storage.

second-life batteries are an essential component of a sustainable future

Why choose second-life technology from modual?

At modual, we specialise in converting used batteries into robust and reliable energy storage systems. Our expertise in second-life technology has earned us the distinction of being the largest Swiss manufacturer in this field. However, what truly sets us apart are our rigorous tests, the BMS we developed, the 10-year warranty and a product portfolio tailored to a wide variety of needs:

DC energy storage solutions: Ideal for integrated systems where DC storage is required.

AC energy storage solutions: Perfect for retrofit applications, allowing existing systems to be seamlessly transitioned to renewable energy sources.

This versatility means that we can serve a wide range of customers, from industrial users looking for large-scale solutions to homeowners seeking to optimise their solar energy storage at home.

The advantages of second-life energy storage

Cost efficiency: second-life batteries cost less than brand-new batteries, making energy storage more affordable.

Sustainability: By reusing batteries, we reduce the demand for raw materials such as lithium and cobalt and decrease the environmental impact of mining and manufacturing.

Performance: second-life systems are rigorously tested and optimised to deliver dependable performance that meets the requirements of even the most demanding applications, as proven by the 10-year warranties on modual products.

Growing need for flexible storage

With the increasing distribution and acceptance of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, the need for efficient and affordable energy storage is growing. second-life batteries offer an excellent solution for this, especially in applications where flexibility is key. Our AC solutions, for instance, are ideally suited for retrofitting older systems, enabling users to integrate energy storage without overhauling existing infrastructure.

A thought for the future

The energy transition requires us to think beyond the linear "take-make-dispose" model and to embrace innovative solutions that maximise value at every stage of the product lifecycle. second-life batteries are not just a solution for today – they are a cornerstone of the sustainable energy systems of tomorrow.

At modual, we are proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, driving change with products that are as forward-looking as they are practical. When you choose second-life batteries, you are not only making a smart economic decision but also contributing to a cleaner, greener planet.
