What Affects the Scrap Rate?
Important pricing factors for battery scrap
Used batteries differ substantially by chemistry, capacity, construction and condition. Lead-acid, lithium-ion and other battery types should not be treated as one grade. Clear identification, intact casings and separation by type can help a buyer assess acceptance, while leakage, swelling, cracks or heat damage may change the collection requirements.
