Xiji Lithium Energy: Repurposed Green Batteries Enjoy Strong Overseas Sales
Wuhan Xiji Lithium Energy New Material Technology Co., Ltd., located in the Caidian Economic Development Zone, is a technology-driven enterprise focused on new energy battery recycling projects.
In October this year, the company successfully achieved its first foreign trade export of repurposed used power battery products from Caidian, with an export value reaching 4 million yuan. This milestone has injected new momentum into the economic development of Caidian District.
According to Du Chuan, Chairman of Wuhan Xiji Lithium Energy New Material Technology Co., Ltd., the company has been dedicated to the research, development, and production of products such as small energy storage systems, low-speed vehicle batteries, and outdoor batteries since it established operations in Caidian two years ago. Currently, 80% of its products are exported, mainly to North and South American markets. The company is ramping up production to fulfill orders worth tens of millions of yuan and expects its output value to exceed 50 million yuan next year.
It is reported that in 2022, Wuhan Xiji Lithium Energy New Material Technology Co., Ltd. invested 50 million yuan to build a production line for recycling and repurposing used power batteries. This production line includes pre-processing lines for battery packs, dismantling lines for battery packs and modules, and repurposing assembly lines. Covering an area of 10,000 square meters, it has an annual capacity to recycle and dismantle 20,000 tons of used power battery packs. It can also assemble 200 MWh of repurposed battery energy storage systems and 400 MWh of repurposed battery modules and products each year.
Du Chuan stated that the company’s new energy recycling projects primarily adopt repurposing technologies. Qualified lithium batteries are recycled, dismantled, and reassembled to recover and reuse large industrial energy storage batteries. This approach is both environmentally friendly and efficient, catering to household energy needs and extending the lifecycle of lithium batteries. This focus on repurposing technology represents the company’s current efforts and future direction.
Repurposing technology refers to a recycling process that involves dismantling, testing, and screening used lithium battery packs or cells, and then reassembling them into functional battery packs or systems for reuse.
In the production workshop, workers are busy manufacturing small energy storage batteries bound for export to North American markets. Using specialized equipment and processes, the recycled batteries undergo steps such as discharging, dismantling, capacity grading, grouping, laser welding, and assembling protective circuits, ultimately producing new battery products. These products are highly favored by overseas customers due to their excellent performance, high quality, and competitive prices.
Du Chuan also revealed that the company is currently targeting the 1–5 kWh energy storage market and plans to expand into the mid-sized household energy storage market (5–15 kWh) in the next phase. In terms of sales, the company aims to further expand its market reach to Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa while also enhancing its domestic business operations.
As a professional manufacturer of battery packs for residential, outdoor, and industrial energy storage systems, Wuhan Xiji Lithium Energy New Material Technology Co., Ltd. offers products widely used in energy storage devices, industrial energy storage systems, residential energy storage, 12V–72V small-scale storage systems, and two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles.
The company is equipped with advanced, high-precision testing equipment, including new 5V30A, 5V20A, and 5V10A feedback systems, as well as high-end laser equipment. It also holds five utility model patents and maintains long-term, stable partnerships with well-known enterprises such as Dongfeng Motor, EVE Energy, Nanjing Golden Dragon, Hubei Chenergy, and China Tower.
