BatteryLoop in Sweden is to use new and second life batteries from Mercedes-Benz Energy for large scale energy storage systems (ESS).

The deal also includes DC systems and engineering for the BLESS range, which is housed in shipping containers for easy installation.

Using second life batteries that have already been used in electric vehicles provides lower cost energy storage to even out the supply of electricity for renewable sources. The vehicle battery packs are replaced when they fall to 80% capacity, leaving plenty of capacity for stationary storage applications. This also significantly extends the use of the batteries before they need to be recycled.

The first delivery will be during 2022 of a 2 MWh system with the power of 3-megawatt installed in Sweden by Gothenberg-based BatteryLoop to support the electricity grid.
