Second-life batteries offer economic benefits beyond the environmental advantages—reducing landfill waste and the demand for new raw materials. The cost-effectiveness of refurbishing and repurposing used batteries often surpasses manufacturing new ones.
Second-life batteries present an immediate opportunity, the viability of which will be proven or disproven in the next few years. Second-life batteries can considerably reduce the cost as well as the environmental impact of stationary battery energy storage.

However, spent batteries are commonly less reliable than fresh batteries due to their degraded performance, thereby necessitating a comprehensive assessment from safety and economic perspectives before further utilization. To this end, this paper reviews the key technological and economic aspects of second-life batteries (SLBs).
Second-life batteries (SLBs) can be used for a variety of applications. For example, the retired batteries can be used to provide charging services for an EV charging station [7, 8]. However, their use as stationary battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is more common.
Second-life batteries will either fail or experience exponential growth over the next 3–5 years. Retired batteries are available in increasing quantities, and there is clear demand for low-cost, stationary energy storage. Companies seeking to take advantage of the opportunity must act now, or risk missing the boat.
