Second-life battery systems
A second life for energy
Our energy storage gives batteries from electromobility a second life. By reusing existing batteries, we reduce the demand for newly mined raw materials, lower CO₂ emissions, and create products that utilize energy more efficiently and environmentally friendly. This is circular economy in action – technologically advanced, ecologically sensible, and economically wise.
Implementing circular economy
Why your next battery has a story
Imagine a high-performance athlete ends their career in professional sports. They might no longer be fast enough for the world elite, but they are still fitter and have more stamina than average. It's the same in the world of electromobility: Batteries from electric vehicles are replaced after a few years, even though they still have an enormous capacity of 80%.
This is where our second-life batteries come into play. Instead of wasting valuable resources, we give these powerhouses a new, meaningful purpose – as stationary battery storage in your home.
Circular economy: Because our resources are valuable
Swiss precision for your home
We believe in quality at your doorstep. That is why our stationary storage systems are manufactured directly in Switzerland. This not only ensures short transport routes but also the highest processing standards. The heart of our storage systems is something you cannot see from the outside: the BMS (Battery Management System). In-house software: We have developed and programmed the brain of your storage system ourselves. Maximum safety: Our BMS monitors each individual cell around the clock. It ensures that the battery always operates within the optimal range. Longevity: Through the intelligent control "Made in Switzerland", we ensure that the second life of your battery is particularly long and efficient.
Your contribution to the circular economy
By using a battery storage system, you generally reduce your ecological footprint. By purchasing a Second Life battery storage system, you additionally reduce CO2 emissions during storage production, prevent the mining of new raw materials, and give society time to build up our recycling capacities.
CO2
The battery cells account for about 80% of the CO2 emissions of a battery storage system. By reusing already produced battery cells, modular storage solutions have an ecological footprint that is about 60% lower than that of new storage.
Extract new raw materials
For our home storage systems, we exclusively use LFP battery cells. Depending on the original cell manufacturer and supply chain, there are differences. But as a guideline, about 95 kg of raw materials need to be mined to produce 1 kWh of battery cells. Therefore, several tons of raw materials are behind each battery storage system.
Recycling capacities
Humanity has the know-how to reclaim nearly 100% of the raw materials in a battery. Unfortunately, newly mined raw materials are often still cheaper than those from a recycling process. For this reason, there are only limited capacities, and humanity struggles to build additional ones. In 2024, for example, Europe would only have been able to recycle about 10 percent of the electric vehicle batteries that will return to the market in 2030.
Become part of the solution
Use energy that is already there - safely regulated, locally manufactured, and with a story that continues to be written in your home.
