End-of-Life LFP Battery Module
Product Overview
End-of-Life LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery modules are end‑of‑life or retired power battery packs and modules sourced from electric buses, commercial vehicles, passenger EVs, and stationary energy storage systems. At retirement, these modules typically retain 70‑80% of their original capacity, offering significant value for both second‑life applications and material recovery. We procure retired LFP modules globally – including complete packs, module assemblies, and dismantled cells – and provide a full‑service solution covering cross‑border logistics, customs clearance, and downstream processing at our fully‑certified dismantling facility in Japan.

| Remaining Capacity | Typically 70‑80% of original capacity at retirement |
| Safety Profile | Excellent thermal stability; low risk of thermal runaway |
Application Value
End-of-Life LFP battery modules offer two primary pathways to value recovery:
1. Second‑Life (Tiered Utilization) Applications
Due to their long cycle life and stable performance, retired LFP modules are ideally suited for less demanding applications. Studies show that they maintain good capacity and voltage consistency even after one year in photovoltaic storage microgrids, delivering stable charge/discharge performance and effective peak shaving. Typical second‑life applications include:
Stationary energy storage systems
Telecom base station backup power
Low‑speed electric vehicles
Photovoltaic storage microgrids
2. Material Recovery (Recycling)
When modules reach their end‑of‑life, they become valuable feedstocks for material recovery. LFP batteries contain lithium, iron, and phosphorus at concentrations higher than natural ores, with lower extraction costs. Through advanced hydrometallurgical processes, lithium recovery rates can exceed 95%, and regenerated LFP materials can achieve a 1C discharge specific capacity of over 140 mAh/g. The regenerative value is estimated at approximately RMB 18,000 per ton, and is expected to grow as recycling capabilities expand.
Processing Workflow
Our integrated “Global Procurement → Compliant Dismantling → Automated Sorting → Value Output” model ensures maximum recovery:
Worldwide Sourcing – Local teams in key supply regions offer flexible pick‑up, competitive pricing, and long‑term off‑take agreements.
Regulatory Compliance – Strict adherence to international hazardous waste transport regulations and Chinese import environmental standards; complete documentation for smooth customs clearance.
Japan‑Based Dismantling – Fully automated discharging, dismantling, crushing, and sorting lines, operating under Japanese and international environmental and safety codes, with zero‑pollution discharge.
Value Output – Modules are directed to either second‑life application channels (after rigorous testing) or material recovery (producing high‑purity LFP black mass for hydrometallurgical refining).
