In this way, old batteries can begin a second life or be recycled and completely discharged.
EA offers a wide range of products for initial battery production, recharging, second-life testing, and final recycling. Its EA-PSB 10000 bidirectional power supply and EA-ELR 10000 regenerative electronic charging system ensure safe and sustainable preparation of discarded batteries, with a regeneration efficiency of 96%.
Second Life for Rechargeable Batteries:
Even if the storage capacity of battery systems is no longer sufficient for use in electric vehicles, the remaining capacity can be used for a second life as solar or wind energy storage. With the EA-PSB 10000 bidirectional power supplies, the remaining capacity of the batteries is checked by charging them to almost 100% and then discharging them again.
The EA-PSB 10000 bidirectional power supply, with 30 kW in a 4U form factor, offers the highest power density on the market. It can deliver up to 1.92 MW in a rack system, meaning that mass testing can also be performed without issue. Furthermore, the EA-PSB 10000 units can easily switch between power supply and load operation, resulting in significant time savings.
The PSB 10000's true automatic range-switching capability ensures maximum charging and complete discharge of batteries at high charging currents, even at voltages below 2 volts.
Its ability to recover voltage with up to 96% efficiency makes the EA-PSB 10000 a highly cost-effective solution.
Safety and Efficiency in Complete Battery Discharge:
After a certain period of operation, batteries can only be recycled. This involves disassembling them into parts that can be reused. Proper management of this process is essential to ensure safety and prevent ignition; lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries must be completely discharged. This can be achieved with the EA-ELR 10000 regenerative electronic charging system, the most efficient technology currently available.
Sustainable Recovery of Waste Energy from the Grid:
With 30 kW in a 4U form factor, the EA-ELR 10000 series, like the EA-PSB 10000 series, boasts the highest power density on the market and can reach up to 1.92 MW in rack systems. Users can extract large amounts of waste energy from the batteries in a very short time and return it to the grid with an efficiency of up to 96%. This grid regeneration reduces operating costs and protects the environment, while also generating less heat and thus eliminating the need for expensive external cooling systems. Optionally, the EA-ELR 10000 is available in a sealed enclosure with 90% efficient water cooling.
Using EA Power Control Software:
The EA Power Control software features a user-friendly interface that enables precise and convenient control of EA products via a Windows computer. This allows users to easily manage DC power supplies and electronic loads remotely. The optional Multi Control feature also allows up to 20 EA devices to be managed simultaneously—a highly efficient method, especially for testing and mass discharges.
