HV Battery Discharger for Lithium-Ion Batteries
1. Why discharging is essential in lithium-ion battery recycling
The high-voltage battery discharger is an essential solution for safely processing lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicle (EV) battery modules in modern recycling facilities.
The system provides controlled reduction of residual voltage, helping eliminate electrical hazards and allowing downstream recycling operations to be performed safely.
Designed for integration into battery recycling lines, the unit performs a deep discharge of systems rated up to 96 V while providing high process efficiency and reliability.
Discharging high-voltage batteries is a critical step when processing:
- Electric vehicle battery packs.
- Lithium-ion battery modules.
- Energy storage system batteries (ESS).
- Hybrid and industrial batteries.
Controlled discharging makes it possible to:
- Neutralize potentially hazardous residual energy.
- Reduce the risk of fire and thermal runaway.
- Support safer battery handling and storage.
- Simplify transportation and logistics 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 significantly reduce transportation and storage costs.
