Where a BYD e6 Fleet pack goes from Dubai, UAE
- 1
Intake at Dubai, UAE
Each pack travels in a rated crate or on a restrained pallet, with coolant drained and ports sealed. Each pack is weighed, photographed and discharged below 30% state of charge.
- 2
Graded at Warsaw, Mazovia
Modules travel 4,157 km to Warsaw — Mazovia Grading Centre for capacity, resistance and impedance testing across all 1 modules.
- 3
Second life at Zwickau, Saxony
At 80% SOH about 56% of the pack qualifies for reuse and goes to Zwickau — Saxony Second-Life Works (4,604 km). Excellent — long calendar life makes LFP the preferred feedstock for stationary BESS repurposing.
- 4
Refined at Lyon, France
Remaining modules are shredded to black mass and refined at Lyon — Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Refinery, 5,003 km away.
| Stage | Facility | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Nearest grading bench | Warsaw — Mazovia Grading Centre | 4,157 km |
| Nearest second-life works | Zwickau — Saxony Second-Life Works | 4,604 km |
| Nearest refinery | Lyon — Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Refinery | 5,003 km |

Inside the BYD e6 Fleet battery
The BYD e6 Fleet (2021) carries a 71.7 kWh LFP Prismatic (LiFePO4) pack with 1 modules at 400 V, weighing roughly 531 kg. Cobalt-free prismatic chemistry dominant in Indian passenger EVs and commercial fleets. Low black mass value, exceptional second-life economics.
| Service year | SOH | Grade | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 95.7% | A — BESS ready | USD 3,742 |
| Year 4 | 92.6% | A — BESS ready | USD 3,623 |
| Year 6 | 89.5% | A — BESS ready | USD 3,505 |
| Year 8 | 86.4% | A — BESS ready | USD 3,363 |
| Year 10 | 83.3% | B — Second life | USD 2,823 |
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 BYD e6 Fleet pack
71.7 kWh, 1 modules, about 531 kg — this is how the Dubai, UAE team plans the job.
Removal
Large packs are removed at the depot with a forklift-rated battery table and the vehicle isolated under lock-out tag-out.
Packaging
Each pack travels in a rated crate or on a restrained pallet, with coolant drained and ports sealed.
Consolidation
Depot retirements are batched against the fleet replacement schedule so collections line up with vehicle swaps.
Before the truck arrives
- Share telematics SOH history if it is available
- Confirm forklift access and dock height at the depot
- Isolate high-voltage systems under lock-out tag-out
- Declare any pack involved in a collision
Dubai, UAE site notes
- Collections are scheduled to avoid peak heat.
- Export shipments need prior approvals.
- Declare damage in advance.
- Packs are kept in cooled storage.
