Refurbishment, second-life and the circular economy.
European mobility transitions are increasingly governed by strict environmental mandates, specifically the comprehensive EU Battery Regulation, which requires operators and insurers to prove lifecycle accountability. Rather than defaulting to premature write-offs, YES-EU provides systematic battery refurbishment to extend the asset's lifecycle. This methodology aligns strictly with EU circular economy targets, ensuring high material utilization and systematically reducing the demand for virgin raw materials.
Built for transparent digital tracking.
Central to emerging European legislation is the EU Battery Passport, mandating transparent digital tracking of a battery's operational history, material composition, and State-of-Health (SoH). Our European facilities execute comprehensive battery pack overhauls using advanced diagnostic and reconditioning protocols designed to support this digital infrastructure.
Reconditioning and certification.
-
Pack Rebuilding & Reconditioning
Structural disassembly and rebuilding of high-voltage packs, systematically isolating and extracting degraded modules.
-
Cell Matching & Balancing
Technicians execute precise cell matching and balancing procedures to restore pack equilibrium and stabilize voltage output.
-
State-of-Health (SoH) Certification
Post-refurbishment, batteries undergo rigorous performance validation and capacity testing. We generate official, audit-ready SoH reports and residual value certifications, ensuring full compliance with EU Battery Passport mandates.
When capacity drops below traction use.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
When a battery's capacity drops below the threshold required for traction use, we repurpose functional modules into stationary energy storage for commercial and industrial power applications.
Component Reuse
Safe extraction and testing of viable internal components for secondary applications.
Structured Recycling
If a battery is entirely unsuited for second-life integration, YES-EU coordinates secure, compliant recycling pathways to maximize raw material recovery.
Rigorous adherence to European protocols.
-
Secure containment & transit
Containment and transit of compromised or end-of-life EV batteries uses safe packaging, controlled discharge protocols, and strictly ADR-compliant logistics.
-
Secured facilities
Facilities are secured with 24/7 active thermal monitoring, dedicated quarantine zones, and advanced fire suppression systems.
-
Certified technicians
All interventions are executed exclusively by CATL-certified technicians, ensuring technical compliance with the highest regional safety standards.
