What is the disassembly process of lithium-ion traction batteries?

Disassembly Process of Lithium-Ion Traction Batteries The disassembly of lithium-ion traction batteries after reaching their end-of-life (EoL) represents a promising approach to maximize the purity of the segregated material .

What information do I need for a lithium ion battery disassembly?

If a disassembly of the modules down to cell level is planned in the future, further information about the cells, e.g., design (pouch, prismatic, cylindrical), weight, and dimensions, are required. As mentioned before, lithium-ion batteries are labelled with a “Li-ion” symbol.

How do I dismantle a Li-ion battery?

The first step to take before dismantling a Li-ion battery is to identify its type and the amount of charge remaining in it. This information is critical because different types of batteries require different handling procedures. Additionally, the risks associated with dismantling the battery increase with the charge level.

How do you store a lithium ion battery?

When not using your LiPo/ Li-ion battery pack, store it at 60-70% of the pack’s rated capacity. Lithium-ion cells should never be stored fully charged. It is suggested to store them with a voltage around 3.8v. Most of the chargers have a “storage mode” that will either charge or discharge the cell to the proper storage voltage.

Do you have a legal obligation to store lithium-ion batteries?

The University is required to comply with legal obligations to minimise the risk of fire, damage, and injury because of storage and disposal of lithium batteries. Every employer must ensure that all employees who handle lithium-ion batteries for their work or use equipment, or machines with batteries, know the basic rules.

What is a lithium-ion battery recycling infrastructure?

An effective lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling infrastructure is of great importance to alleviate the concerns over the disposal of waste LIBs and the sustainability of critical elements for producing LIB components.
