Furthermore, several projects emphasize smart sorting and dismantling systems for LIBs. These systems automate classification and disassembly, identifying and separating functional battery modules for reassembly into new batteries for second life applications. It is necessary to design a methodology for the rapid identification of EoL batteries as a useful tool for collection, handling and pre-processing infrastructures. The value of the active material content, recyclability and remanufacturing costs for a second use determine the best management option for EoL batteries (second life or recycling).
