What can recycled car batteries be used for?
1 Answers
Recycled car batteries can only be repurposed through recycling processes, which involve dismantling and reusing. Some companies also repurpose these retired power batteries for use in smart home systems. Recycling Process: First, the old batteries are crushed and washed to separate the plastic, which is then reused to make new car batteries. The water used in the washing process undergoes deacidification treatment to meet discharge standards. The remaining solids are continuously heated in a furnace to melt the lead into a liquid, causing other metals to float to the surface. These metals are then skimmed off, leaving only molten lead, which is cast into molds to cool and solidify, ready to be melted again for new battery production.
