This document summarizes a business that refurbishes used batteries to provide backup power solutions as an alternative to generators. The business sources dead batteries, tests and sorts them, then assembles refurbished batteries and sets them up for customers. It provides monitoring to avoid downtime. The business model is more affordable and eco-friendly than generators. It plans to partner with recycling centers, universities, and companies to source batteries and expand.

15. BY THE NUMBERS
140 million: The number of electric
vehicles predicted to be on the road
worldwide by 2030
11 million: Metric tons of Li-ion batteries
expected to reach the end of their service
lives between now and 2030
30–40%: The percentage of a Li-ion
battery’s weight that comes from
valuable cathode material
<5%: The percentage of Li-ion batteries
that are recycled currently
~100%: The percentage of the lead in
common lead-acid car batteries that gets
recycled into new batteries
~$70 billion: The value of the Li-ion
battery market projected for 2022
