Retired Batteries Are Viable Options for Energy Storage Systems

Finding a technically attractive and cost–efficient way to store energy from intermittent sources, such as solar and wind power, is a major challenge, but one with many possible solutions. Obviously, there is no single “best” solution here, as it depends on the needed electrical capacity, charge, discharge, and use cycles, physical siting, costs, and many other factors. One credible blog from Circular Energy Storage Research and Consulting explains why, under some circumstances, the price of used batteries can be higher than it is for new batteries—go figure that one.
