Safety guide: How to Responsibly Dispose or Recycle Lithium-ion Batteries

The striking performance of lithium-ion-batteries enhances the performance of any electronic device. However, it is very important to know how lithium-ion-batteries should be handled in the last phase of electronic products. This is because it requires additional attention and failing to do so will lead to a higher risk of fire, pollution, and other negative effects.

There are certain dos and don’ts list that need to be considered while disposing of or recycle lithium-ion batteries.

How to understand that the battery that is used in your electronic device is a CR123a 3 v lithium battery? So here we are to help you to understand that the battery you are using is whether lithium-ion batteries or not. Every li-ion battery has li-ion as an identification mark on it. This can be inscribed in the material or the battery can have it in the form of a sticker. With this, you will be easily able to identify whether a battery is a li-ion battery or not.

Do

• Make sure that the AA lithium batteries are removed from devices and kept separated for further recovery
• Insulate the battery terminals or wires in order to prevent short circuit
• If the 1.5V lithium battery cannot be separated easily then approach a specialist and ensure the specialist processing facility has suitable permits
• It is very important to follow the manuals so that you can dispose of these batteries safely when it is needed

List of don’

• You must dispose of the li-ion batteries with regular waste
• Damaged and non-damaged batteries should not be mixed
• A large number of arlo rechargeable batteries should be placed without appropriate segregation, this increases the incidence of fire hazard
• Discarded li-ion batteries should be stored inside as they have a high risk of short-circuiting and catching fire
• Place batteries or items containing batteries, in any process that is not mainly designed to accommodate batteries

Lithium-ion batteries contain many chemicals so improper disposal of these batteries can cause significant problems. This can lead to further environmental pollution and loss of resources. Lithium is highly reactive and is not easy to control. Extreme temperatures such as too high charging voltage, short circuit or even too much of heavy strain can cause an exothermic reaction.
