Description

Battery Scrap: High-Value Recyclable Material

Source: This product consists of scrap batteries collected from various sources, including consumer electronics, electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and more. The specific battery chemistries will vary depending on the batch, but may include:

• Lead-Acid Batteries (LAB): Commonly found in automobiles, UPS systems, and other applications.
• Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries: Older technology, often found in power tools and older electronics.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries: Used in many portable electronics, hybrid vehicles, and power tools.
• Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Found in laptops, smartphones, electric vehicles, and a wide range of modern electronics. This category can further be broken down into different cathode chemistries (e.g., LCO, NMC, LFP).

Condition: The scrap batteries are supplied in various states of disassembly and integrity. This may include whole, intact batteries; partially disassembled batteries; and individual battery cells. Material may contain connectors, casings, and other components. Buyers should be aware that this material is potentially hazardous and requires specialized handling and processing.

Processing Notes: This scrap is not ready for direct reuse. It requires proper processing to recover valuable materials and ensure safe disposal of hazardous components. Processes typically involve:

• Disassembly: Separating individual cells and components.
• Sorting: Categorizing batteries by chemistry and condition.
• Pre-treatment: Preparing materials for further processing (e.g., crushing, shredding).
• Hydrometallurgy/Pyrometallurgy: Extracting valuable metals (e.g., lead, nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese) using chemical or thermal processes.

Packaging: The scrap batteries are typically packaged in durable containers appropriate for their hazardous nature, such as specialized drums or bulk bins. Specific packaging will vary depending on the volume and type of scrap. Packaging details will be provided upon request and order confirmation.

Safety Precautions: Handle with extreme care. Battery scrap can contain hazardous materials including corrosive acids, heavy metals, and flammable components. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and respirators, is mandatory during handling and processing. Adhere to all relevant local, regional, and national safety regulations and guidelines.

Legal Compliance: All transactions will comply with relevant environmental regulations pertaining to the transport, handling, and processing of hazardous waste. Documentation will be provided as required by law.

Pricing: Pricing is based on the weight and composition of the battery scrap, and will be quoted upon request. Detailed analysis of a sample batch may be required to determine precise composition and pricing. Market prices fluctuate; current market rates will be used for pricing.

Minimum Order Quantity: Minimum order quantity varies depending on the specific type and location. Please inquire for details.
