AceleAfrica manufactures and sells new and second-life battery packs to e-mobility companies. The company’s flagship initiative – the Scaling Affordable and Expandable Batteries Through e-waste Repurposing (SAEBeW) Project, aims to repurpose 125,000 discarded lithium cells into IoT-enabled, second-life batteries for solar applications.
Leveraging it’s regional expertise in cell repurposing, AceleAfrica, with support from PREO, is introducing an innovative cell testing-as-a-service model for solar home system companies. The project’s ambitious implementation plan includes constructing over 100 energy storage systems using repurposed batteries. These systems will be enhanced with integrated IoT technology for advanced monitoring and management capabilities. The company will then pilot the deployment of these repurposed energy storage systems in selected communities to assess their effectiveness and gather valuable user feedback. Through this comprehensive approach, AceleAfrica aims to advance sustainable business models for scaling and commercialising repurposed battery solutions.
