I know what youre /trying/ to say. But you seem to be conflating energy storage with energy usage.

  How so? At no point did the person you replied to mention energy usage in any form.

    "more than offsetting losses due to the recycling process" if you recycle a 50kwh battery into a 100kwh battery, you aren't going to offset any of the energy used in actually recycling that battery (unless we're assuming that theres another efficiency, lighter weight? that offsets the losses)

      I read that as mass losses in recycling inefficiencies rather than energy used for the process.

        Ah ok, that would (also) make sense. I read "greater than 100% of the original battery's capacity from the same materials" and put the emphasis on 'capacity'. English is hard.
