From EV battery to mechanical recycling.

To maximize the value of viable battery cells before they hit final mechanical recycling, SBM Tech plans to integrate testing with secondary-life Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

How energy storage supports smarter energy use.

Charging and discharging

ESS stores electricity when grid demand is low and discharges it at peak periods, giving operators control over energy timing, load flexibility and a more resilient supply.

Reducing costs and demand charges

Demand charges are billed on a facility’s highest grid draw in a billing cycle. Storage flattens those peaks by substituting stored energy at critical moments.

Sustainability and efficiency

Storage helps reduce dependence on fossil-fuel grid power and can lower scope 2 emissions, a practical lever for facilities with ESG reporting requirements.

Resilience and reliability

Backup power and voltage support help keep high-priority systems, production lines and computing environments running through grid events.

Integrating renewables

Storage bridges the gap between when solar and wind generate and when load needs power, making onsite renewable capacity more usable.

Where we see a fit.
