Sorted Spent Alkaline Manganese Dioxide Batteries

Sorted spent alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, such as used AA/AAA cells, are primary batteries that have been depleted through normal use. They are sorted by their zinc-manganese dioxide chemistry and verified to contain no lead, cadmium, or mercury, making them eligible for this tariff item.

Sorted Spent Lithium-Ion Laptop Batteries

Sorted spent lithium-ion laptop batteries, classified by chemical type (lithium cobalt oxide) and certified free of lead, cadmium, or mercury. These spent primary cells are no longer usable or rechargeable, making them electrical and electronic waste and scrap under tariff item 8549.13.00.

Sorted Spent Lithium Polymer Drone Batteries

Sorted spent lithium polymer drone batteries are worn lithium-polymer cells from consumer drones, sorted by LiPo chemistry and free of toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury. These spent electric accumulators fail to hold charge due to cycle fatigue, making them classifiable under this tariff item.
