| Service year | SOH | Grade | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 95.5% | A — BESS ready | USD 573 |
| Year 4 | 92.4% | A — BESS ready | USD 555 |
| Year 6 | 89.3% | A — BESS ready | USD 537 |
| Year 8 | 86.2% | A — BESS ready | USD 510 |
| Year 10 | 83.1% | B — Second life | USD 428 |
What the chemistry means here
How it ages
LFP fades slowly and fairly linearly for most of its life. Capacity loss is driven mainly by lithium inventory being locked up in the SEI layer on the graphite anode, while the cathode structure stays largely intact.
Thermal behaviour
LFP's olivine cathode holds its oxygen tightly, so thermal runaway typically starts at higher temperatures than nickel-rich cells and releases noticeably less heat. It is not inert: a failing LFP cell still vents flammable electrolyte vapour and hydrogen, and large prismatic cans store a lot of energy in one place.
Handling LFP Prismatic
Collecting a Altigreen neEV Tez pack
11 kWh, 6 modules, about 81 kg — this is how the Butibori, Maharashtra team plans the job.
Removal
Packs are removed from the under-seat or rear bay; high-cycle fleet packs are checked for water ingress first.
Packaging
Packs are palletised in small groups inside UN-rated boxes, with dividers between units.
Consolidation
Fleet depots and dealer service points are scheduled as recurring milk runs rather than one-off pickups.
Before the truck arrives
- Check for corrosion and water ingress in the pack bay
- Flag any aftermarket or repaired packs on the manifest
- Tape terminals and remove quick-connect plugs
- Group packs by chemistry before collection
Butibori, Maharashtra site notes
- Whole packs are not accepted; modules must arrive already graded.
- Each module needs its grade report and serial number.
- Finished units are dispatched on scheduled delivery runs agreed with the buyer.
- Buyers can inspect systems before dispatch by appointment.
