Second-life batteries can considerably reduce the cost as well as the environmental impact of stationary battery energy storage. Major challenges to second-life deployment include streamlining the battery repurposing process and ensuring long-term battery performance.

In this sense, it is important to note that the capability of a battery to be used in a second-life application strongly depends on the degradation of the battery at the end of the EV life (i.e., for a capacity below 80 %).
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.
The second-life battery market is rapidly expanding outside the United States as companies around the world are recognizing the potential of this technology to reduce waste and extend the life of valuable resources.
The continuous, dotted and dashed lines represent the cases without batteries, with lead-acid batteries, and with second-life Li-ion batteries, respectively It can be observed that the emission’s slope changes after the first life of the battery in the vehicle (year 10 in Fig. 3) proving how it strongly depends on the second-life application.
As the studied second-life applications are expected to work with one battery only, all these assumptions can also be used for the battery delivery to the final destination. This value represents less than 1 % of the total emissions of an EV during its first life.
