In this month’s edition of Connected we’re sharing a round-up of our Second Life series, designed to outline the experience and expertise within our organisation.
We wanted to do this through our people – putting them at the forefront and telling their stories about what it means to work with second life batteries, the intelligence behind our systems, and what it means to them personally.
Browse through our team’s stories below and a round-up of upcoming events and recent news, including Matthew Lumsden’s guest appearance on an industry podcast…
The Story of Second Life at Connected Energy
The European Union’s recent Battery Regulation has placed the spotlight on the full life cycle of batteries. The new law ensures that batteries are collected, reused, and recycled in Europe, supporting a shift to a circular economy.
At Connected Energy, we’ve been championing the reuse of EV batteries for over ten years – driven by our mission to reduce their carbon footprint. We asked some of our team to tell us about their work:
- How our longest-serving staff pioneered the second life software model
- Why innovative design ensures we stay ahead of the BESS curve
- How we’ve developed a successful supply chain in the industry
- Using AI to enhance performance, safety and efficiency
- Building relationships with OEM partners and battery suppliers
What happens next: investigating safe and efficient recycling

Case Study: West Suffolk College
We’ve just installed a system at The University and Professional Development Centre (UPDC) in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. They recently installed 500 kilowatts (kW) of rooftop solar, with support from West Suffolk Council, and are now using Connected Energy’s battery storage system to maximise their use of the renewable energy generated by the rooftop array, to capture the surplus solar.
