HV Battery Discharger for Lithium-Ion Batteries
The HV battery discharger provides an essential solution for the safe processing of lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicle (EV) battery modules within modern recycling plants.
The system enables the controlled reduction of residual voltage, helping to eliminate electrical hazards and allowing the subsequent stages of the recycling process to be carried out safely.
Designed for integration into battery recycling lines, the unit performs deep discharge on systems up to 96 V, ensuring high process efficiency and reliability.
1. Why discharge is essential in lithium-ion battery recycling
High-voltage battery discharge is a critical stage in the processing of:
- Electric vehicle battery packs.
- Lithium-ion battery modules.
- Energy storage system batteries (ESS).
- Hybrid and industrial batteries.
Controlled discharge makes it possible to:
- Neutralise potentially hazardous residual energy.
- Reduce the risk of fire and thermal runaway.
- Enable safer handling and storage.
- Simplify logistics and transport operations.
Following deep discharge, the modules can be short-circuited and placed in quarantine for a 72-hour monitoring period.
After inspection, the batteries may be classified as non-critical, helping to significantly reduce transport and storage costs.
2. Key benefits
- Maximum operator safety during battery handling.
- Highly efficient deep discharge of batteries and modules.
- Reduced thermal and electrical risks.
- Optimised transport and storage costs.
- Easy integration into battery recycling plants.
- Intuitive and fully controlled process.
