Battery scrap descriptions
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| Rains | Drained or dry whole intact lead batteries, free of liquid, with complete plastic or rubber cases. |
| Rink | Wet whole intact lead batteries: automotive, truck, golf-cart and marine types with plastic or rubber cases. |
| Industrial lead-acid | Traction and standby batteries, traded by agreement. |
| Lithium-ion | Separate stream for specialist recyclers. Never mixed with lead-acid batteries. |
| Damaged / leaking | Separated and packed in leak-proof, acid-resistant containers. |
Packaging
| Format | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Palletised loads | Batteries stacked upright, terminals protected, stretch-wrapped on pallets. |
| Acid-resistant containers | Leak-proof lined boxes or bins for wet and damaged batteries. |
| Dangerous-goods packaging | Packaging and labels to the regulations of the transport route. |
Applications
Secondary lead smelting, lead recovery and specialist battery recycling.
Frequently asked questions
Why are batteries separated by chemistry?
Lead-acid and lithium batteries need different recycling processes, and lithium batteries mixed into lead loads are a fire risk.
Can used batteries be exported?
Only with the permits required by the Basel Convention and national law in the countries of export, transit and import.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product and the lot. The minimum quantity, price and delivery terms are set out in the written quotation.
