 The superior performance of lithium-ion batteries, to a large extent, explains the superior performance of most electronic devices. However, special attention should be paid to lithium batteries as they age over time. If these batteries are handled in the wrong way, fire, contamination, and other negative effects may result. To prevent this negative effect from happening, you should do something to properly dispose of the battery.

They are listed below:

1. Make sure the battery is removed from the unit and away from the main unit before further material recycling.

2. If the battery cannot be easily separated from the device, consult an expert to remove the battery. Experts should be properly licensed in their facility.

3. After removing, the battery terminals should be insulated to avoid short circuit.

4. Batteries should be stored in UN-approved buckets or boxes, separated by dry sand and vermiculite.

5. Batteries with damaged packaging, leakage or swelling shall be processed according to the above-mentioned UN-approved barrel packing process

There are also things you shouldn’t do when dealing with lithium batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries cannot be subjected to the following treatments, which include:

1. Lithium batteries are disposed of with regular garbage.

2. Squeeze, puncture, throw or do anything that could cause the electrodes to contact and short circuit

3. Mix damaged and undamaged batteries

4. Putting a large number of batteries together without proper isolation as this may cause a fire hazard

5. Place batteries or products containing batteries in any process not specifically designed to contain batteries

6. Store discarded lithium-ion batteries at home, as these batteries are prone to short circuits and catch fire.

Lithium batteries contain a variety of chemicals. If it is not handled properly, it will cause serious consequences, such as environmental pollution and resource loss. Lithium has high activity and is difficult to control. Effects such as high temperature, high charging voltage, short circuits, and even excessive pressure can cause exothermic reactions that release energy through light or heat in the battery.

Lithium batteries contain a polypropylene film that separates the electrodes and prevents short circuits. Therefore, if the device is crushed or punctured, a thermal event can result, as the battery shorts out when the thin-plate separator between the positive and negative components of the battery is destroyed. The larger the battery, the stronger the thermal response. In this way, incorrectly discarded batteries may ignite other nearby flammable materials. Especially when collecting a lot of batteries, it is possible that only one Li-Ion battery will ignite.
