Abstract
This SAE Battery Identification and Cross Contamination Prevention document is intended to provide information that may be applicable to all types of Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) devices. It is important to develop a system that can facilitate sorting by chemistry. The recycler is interested in the chemistry of the RESS. This is true for the recyclers of Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium etc. Thus recyclers of RESS will receive RESS from automotive, commercial, and industrial applications. These RESS have the potential to be contaminated with a RESS of an incompatible chemistry. It is recognized that mitigation methods to reduce or eliminate the introduction of incompatible chemistries into a given recycling stream would also benefit safety and the environment.
Key findings
- Recyclers must implement systems capable of identifying RESS chemistry to handle diverse sources including lead acid, lithium ion, and nickel cadmium batteries.
- Cross-contamination occurs when incompatible battery chemistries are mixed during the recycling process from various application sectors.
- Preventing cross-contamination is essential for maintaining safety standards and protecting the environment.
