Renovation and refurbishment of lithium batteries for hybrid or electric buses and industrial applications

In response to the economic, environmental, and operational challenges of electric mobility, TYVA Energie leverages its expertise in the repair and refurbishment of lithium batteries.

This service helps extend battery lifespan, restore performance, and ensure safe operation while reducing the costs associated with the complete replacement of energy systems.

Initially, TYVA Energie supports operators and integrators in the refurbishment of batteries for hybrid and electric buses. Depending on the compatibility of battery technologies and architectures, this activity may later be expanded to other industrial and onboard applications.

With its expertise in battery engineering, embedded software, power electronics, and lithium battery safety, TYVA Energie offers a comprehensive approach including diagnostics, cell analysis, replacement of defective components, compliance restoration, and performance validation.

Why refurbish a lithium battery?

Refurbishment makes it possible to:

  • extend battery lifespan,
  • reduce operating costs,
  • limit vehicle downtime,
  • reduce environmental impact,
  • ensure the performance and safety of energy systems,
  • avoid the premature replacement of complete battery packs.

 

This approach is part of a circular economy strategy and promotes the sustainable management of industrial lithium systems.

The benefits of the TYVA Énergie solution

Environmental impact

- 0 %

Refurbishing lithium batteries extends their lifespan by replacing only defective components. This solution reduces waste and can generate up to 70% less carbon footprint compared to the complete replacement of a battery.

Cost savings

- 0 %

Refurbishing lithium batteries is a more cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new battery. By replacing only the necessary components, this solution enables savings of between 25 and 40%, while extending the lifespan of the equipment.

Performance

0 %

Thanks to the replacement of worn components and post-maintenance testing, batteries regain a high level of performance and reliability equivalent to a new battery. This solution extends their lifespan by 8 to 10 years while ensuring the sustainable use of equipment.
