Why lead-acid batteries need to be recycled

Electric car battery has a certain service life, after a few years of use, electric car range will have a significant decline, this time we need to replace the battery, in the replacement of batteries, the original use of old batteries, if it is a lead-acid batteries, the whole electric car business will be recycled at a high price, only need to replace the new batteries with new ways to replace the new batteries. If the original battery is a lithium battery, but no one asked, need to buy a new lithium battery, why the old lead-acid batteries will be „high-priced recycling“!

First of all, we need to have a preliminary understanding of lead-acid batteries, lead-acid batteries are mainly composed of electrolyte and lead plate electrodes, the main component of the battery is lead, accounting for about 75% to 85% of the battery, lead is a non-ferrous metal, so it has the value of recycling, the key is the lead-acid batteries, the manufacturing process is simple, very easy to dismantle, disassembled, it can be very easy to recycle and reuse!

As the recycling process of lead-acid batteries is not complicated, there are many small workshops that dismantle the batteries and recycle the lead metal, and then sell the recycled lead metal to the battery manufacturers, profiting from the price difference. Sellers of electric vehicles will also profit from this process.

 

Because of the high percentage of lead in lead-acid batteries, a set of lead-acid batteries can recover a large amount of metallic lead, typically 8 pounds of lead from 10 pounds of batteries, so there is a huge profit to be made from dismantling and recycling metallic lead.

In addition to being able to produce new front-end batteries, there are unscrupulous entrepreneurs who will repair or refurbish some of the better quality old batteries and then sell them as new batteries.

Why doesn’t anyone want old lithium batteries?

In addition to lead-acid batteries, some electric vehicles now use lithium batteries, but when it comes to replacing lithium batteries, we have found that no one wants to use the old lithium batteries, why is this the case?

Although lithium batteries are mainly made of lithium metal, and lithium metal has some commercial value, but the manufacturing process of lithium batteries is complex, if you want to extract lithium metal into lithium batteries, you need to have a high level of technology, which leads to a high cost of extraction, and finally. Since there is no profit so few people are willing to extract lithium metal, so there is no industrial chain, electric car companies in the replacement of lithium batteries, if the lithium battery is used, the old lithium battery is nowhere to sell, so lithium batteries are not ordered.

 

In addition, lithium batteries are used for a long time, and the number of users is small, so the number of old lithium batteries on the market now is not much, even if someone wants to recycle and extract lithium metal, the number is very small, and at the same time the sales volume is also not high, due to the low profit, or even unprofitable, so the old lithium batteries are not ordered.

 

Whether it is lead-acid batteries or lithium batteries, the reason why some people are willing to recycle at high prices is because lead-acid batteries have huge profits, there is a whole industrial chain behind them, and it is easy to see the profits after EV companies recycle them, so EV companies are willing to recycle them at high prices. As for lithium batteries, the number of users is small, the product life is long, and the extraction and recycling process is complicated, so there is no one to ask for them.
