Lithium Ion Battery Energy Storage End-of-Life
By EPRI''s estimate, a containerized 1-MWh battery can vary from about 24 to 40 metric tons, depending on cathode chemistry and cell design. For example, LFP''s lower energy density, relative to NMC and NCA, translates to more cells and racks per unit of capacity. Current volumes of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are modest, but deployment
