DEAD LAPTOP BATTERIES

The investigation of second-life cases for abandoned lithium-ion batteries is a result of the rising demand for energy storage solutions as well as the environmental hazards caused by poorly disposed lithium cells. The objective of this study is to assess dead laptop batteries’ potential as a substitute energy source by examining how well they function as energy storage devices in a renewable energy system. In order to conduct the research, individual cells harvested from dead laptop batteries were gathered and sorted according to their capacity and condition. After that, several battery tests were conducted to evaluate the batteries’ performance characteristics and remaining useful life. After all tests were carried out, the viable cells harvested were used to construct a 10kilowatt-hour, 48V Lithium-ion battery pack. the pack was tested and deemed a suitable energy storage source.
