Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over traditional valve-regulated, lead acid batteries commonly used in UPSs today. A much longer life span, smaller size and weight, faster recharge times, and declining prices have made lithium-ion batteries an appealing energy storage technology.
Lead-acid batteries recycling is one of the most successful recycling systems that the world has ever seen. This paper reviews battery end-of-life options and describes how a reputable vendor can greatly facilitate the safe disposal and recycling of VRLA lead-acid batteries.
