Will the Second Life Battery Business Work?

Biography

In January 2010, John founded in Toronto what became WeRecycleBatteries.com and, a battery recycling brokerage business that has recycled millions of Kgs of batteries of all major types from across Canada and the USA. In 2016, after inventorying a large amount of backup power scrap lead-acid batteries, he realized most of them were reusable. John started 2ndLife Batteries®  In early 2017. Since then the company has sold 9 MWHs of 2ndLife lead-acid batteries. He shipped reuseable lead-acid batteries throughout the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and West Africa.  John will speak about a case study of the installation of Solar + 2ndLife Batteries ESS for backup power for a Hospital in The Gambia, West Africa.
