Products classified under HTS 8549.11.10.40
Spent Automotive Lead-Acid Starter Battery
A used lead-acid storage battery from a passenger car, designed specifically for starting the engine, now spent and unusable as such due to wear and sulfation. It falls under HTS 8549.11.10.40 as spent lead-acid accumulators of a kind used for starting engines, intended for lead recovery. These batteries are collected from end-of-life vehicles for recycling.
Used Car 12V Lead-Acid Engine Starter Battery
A 12-volt spent lead-acid battery extracted from a standard automobile, primarily for cranking the starter motor, now degraded and destined for scrap. Classified under HTS 8549.11.10.40 because it matches the definition of spent lead-acid accumulators for engine starting, collected for lead reclamation. Common in automotive recycling streams.
Recycled Motorcycle Lead-Acid Starter Battery Scrap
Spent lead-acid battery from a motorcycle or scooter, optimized for high-cranking engine starts, now worn out and broken for recycling. It qualifies for HTS 8549.11.10.40 as waste/scrap of lead-acid starter accumulators for lead recovery. Smaller size typical for two-wheeled vehicles.
Worn-Out Truck Lead-Acid Cranking Battery
A heavy-duty spent lead-acid battery from a light truck or van, designed for repeated engine cranking, now sulfated and non-functional. Falls under HTS 8549.11.10.40 for spent starter lead-acid accumulators targeted for lead recovery. Typically higher capacity than passenger car models.
Discarded Small Engine Lawnmower Starter Battery
Spent lead-acid battery from riding lawnmowers or small gas engines, used for cold cranking, now cracked and spent for recycling. Classified in HTS 8549.11.10.40 as it is a lead-acid starter accumulator scrap for lead recovery. Common in outdoor power equipment recycling.
End-of-Life Passenger Vehicle SLI Battery Scrap
SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) lead-acid battery from sedans, now at end-of-life due to capacity loss below 80%, for lead smelting. HTS 8549.11.10.40 covers these spent starter batteries expressly for recovery. Standard in auto junkyards.
Used ATV Lead-Acid Engine Cranking Battery
Spent battery from all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), built for high-vibration engine starting, now damaged and recycled. Fits HTS 8549.11.10.40 as spent lead-acid starter accumulators for lead recovery. Vibration-resistant design typical.
Scrap Lead-Acid Battery from Snowmobile Starter
Cold-weather rated spent lead-acid battery from snowmobiles for engine cranking, now fractured for scrap. Under HTS 8549.11.10.40 for spent engine starter lead-acid accumulators intended for lead recovery. Designed for sub-zero starts.
Depleted Go-Kart Racing Starter Battery
High-performance spent lead-acid battery from go-kart racing vehicles for quick engine starts, now worn for recycling. Classed in HTS 8549.11.10.40 as scrap starter lead-acid accumulators for lead recovery. Compact, high-discharge design.
Exhausted Light Truck Fleet Starter Battery
Bulk spent lead-acid batteries from commercial light truck fleets, for engine starting, collected for recycling. HTS 8549.11.10.40 applies to these spent starter accumulators designated for lead recovery. Often from delivery vans.
