| Year 10 | 78.3% | B — Second life | USD 96 |
What the chemistry means here
How it ages
LMO's weak point is manganese dissolution, which speeds up at elevated temperature and damages the anode. Packs that lived in hot climates without active cooling typically fade faster.
Thermal behaviour
Manganese spinel is more thermally stable than nickel-rich cathodes, but blended LMO-NMC pouch cells still vent flammable gas when abused, and older packs may have weaker protection electronics.
Handling LMO Pouch
Collecting a Greaves Ampere Magnus pack
3.4 kWh, 2 modules, about 28 kg — this is how the Bhiwadi, Rajasthan team plans the job.
Removal
Removable packs are unclipped by hand; fixed packs are removed at the dealer bench with the frame supported.
Packaging
Packs travel in UN-approved steel or plastic cages with non-conductive dividers, typically dozens per cage.
Consolidation
Dealer and swap-station returns are aggregated at a single point so one collection clears many units.
Before the truck arrives
- Tape terminals and connectors on every pack
- Separate swollen or dropped packs into their own container
- Record serials in a single list per cage
- Store below 30% charge away from charging racks
Bhiwadi, Rajasthan site notes
- Bus and heavy truck packs are better routed to an integrated campus with lifting equipment.
- Give module counts and formats when booking so the right fixtures are prepared before arrival.
- Loads from Haryana should carry correct interstate documentation to avoid delays at the gate.
- Declare damaged items in advance; the site has limited quarantine space.
