The question in the minds of all those interested in e-mobility is what happens to the battery when an electric vehicle has reached the end of its life? The answer is simple: the new BattMan ReLife analysis software checks battery status in just a few minutes.
Depending on the results, a high voltage battery may be reused in a vehicle, in whole or in part. At the same time, it can receive a second life as a mobile or stationary energy tank. The third option would be to dismantle and recycle the resulting components.
After the BattMan ReLife analysis there are three possibilities
The first option is the so-called remanufacturing. A process by which the battery, due to its good or very good “health”, can be reprocessed for later use as a spare part for electric vehicles, after undergoing repair work.
The second option gives the battery a second life when it has a medium to good “health”, which will allow its continued use outside an electric vehicle in the coming years. This could be in a mobile charging station, a driverless transport system or a forklift, or in a home storage or emergency supply system.
The third option involves efficient recycling of components.
The BattMan ReLife rapid inspection system will be used as a diagnostic tool in battery recycling at the pilot plant that Volkswagen Group Components has been operating in Salzgitter since its inception.
The first version of BattMan (Battery Monitoring Analysis Necessity) software was developed by Audi Brussels’ quality management department for fast and reliable analysis of its high voltage battery Audi e-tron . BattMan is already used as a diagnostic tool for several Volkswagen Group brands.
