Sorted Spent Lithium-Ion Laptop Batteries
Used lithium-ion batteries from consumer laptops, sorted by chemical type (lithium cobalt oxide) and confirmed free of lead, cadmium, or mercury contamination. These spent primary cells are no longer usable or rechargeable due to wear and capacity degradation, qualifying under HTS 8549.13 as sorted e-waste scrap. They are processed for recycling to recover valuable metals like lithium and cobalt.
Sorted Spent Nickel-Metal Hydride AA Batteries
