Battery technologies are important in advancing energy storage systems (ESS), particularly focusing on transitioning from end-of-life to second-life applications. This paper explores a variety of battery types including lead acid, lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, and nickel- metal hydride, detailing their characteristics, applications, and the recycling challenges they present. Special emphasis is given to lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and widespread use in electric vehicles and portable devices. The limited lifespan of these batteries highlights significant economic and environmental challenges, emphasizing the necessity for efficient second-life usage and improved recycling strategies. To address these challenges, the establishment of a specialized battery research laboratory is proposed. The laboratory aims to enhance battery lifespan, optimize designs for second-life use, and advance recycling processes. Positioned as an innovation hub, this laboratory is expected to drive advancements in battery technology, fostering sustainable and economically viable energy solutions. The integration of theoretical analyses with practical case studies offers a comprehensive look at the current state and future potential of battery technology in ESS, underscoring its importance in achieving a more sustainable energy future.
