11:15 Secondary Use Battery Energy Storage Is Here

Steve Tolen, President/CEO, Indie Power Systems

Hybrid Electric and Battery Electric Vehicles are now seeing their OEM battery packs removed from service in large numbers. These batteries, while no longer suitable for their primary use, have much life remaining for a second use as stationary energy storage. A case study of secondary use batteries in energy storage will be discussed. Also to be discussed will be steps necessary to expand the financial viability of secondary use.
