What exactly is an industrial battery?

Common electrochemical systems for industrial batteries

  • Lead (Pb)
  • Nickel cadmium (NiCd)
  • Nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
  • Various lithium ion systems (such as LiFePO4, Li-NCA, Li-NMC)

In addition to the relevant waste legislation, industrial batteries are also subject to hazardous goods legislation. The correct handling of lithium batteries for recycling is extremely important in this respect. Improper handling can lead to short circuits, heat development and even fire or to the escape of substances hazardous to health and the environment.
