Battery Recycling Facility Receives Li-Ion Battery Testbeds
Lithium Ion batteries are among the most dangerous components in electronic recycling. Known to combust when damaged, LIBs have caused many fires in the industry and often result in a chain reaction, especially in battery recycling or other end-of-life facilities. Because of the chemical reaction that occurs, LIB fires are more difficult to extinguish, and are often a major concern when repairing used devices for remarketing purposes. However, a UK-based battery recycling facility just received equipment that will enable the company to test and grade batteries in order to determine whether to recycle or repurpose them.
