Disposal or recycling of used portable batteries is becoming an increasingly global problem with the increasing consumption of batteries. More and more public attention is directed to the proper collection of waste, storage, correct sorting, and the development or modernization of recycling methods to realize the possibility of recycling materials and minimize the amount of recycled waste, due to which harmful substances can enter the soil, water, atmosphere and, of course, the human body.

According to the Extended Producer Responsibility system implemented in Europe, each battery manufacturer or supplier pays a fee to the state fund to ensure the proper recycling of batteries. This money goes to non-profit regulatory organizations that mediate between the manufacturer and the recycling companies and organize the process of separate waste collection and recycling. Many recycling companies do not tackle the sorting issue themselves and do not always accept a mixed stream of batteries for recycling, since the cost of recycling one sorted type of batteries is 4 times lower than the cost of recycling a mixed stream.
Our technology used at the sorting stage will increase the efficiency of the process as a whole &#; increasing the number of recycled batteries and reducing the cost of recycling, which means reducing the costs of all stages.
Moreover, we all know that the quality of the final product of processing directly depends on the quality of the sorting &#; different fractions of substances with different fields of application are obtained from different types of batteries. It is obvious that the presence of heavy metals in fertilizers defeats the purpose of using them for agricultural benefit. Same as the presence of impurities in metals makes the metallurgical processing process more labor-intensive and difficult to implement. And we should bear in mind that the higher purity of sorting dramatically reduces the risk of emergencies, such as explosions and fires in lithium battery recycling plants.
Since , the staff LINEV Group has carried out a number of studies in order to substantiate the fundamental possibility of solving the problem of identifying and sorting various types of used batteries using X-ray technology, as well as choosing the main components and optimal operating modes of the installation. Based on the internal structure of the batteries, each individual type has characteristic regions that are automatically detected on an X-ray.
The combination of a design solution for a conveyor system and a developed algorithm for battery recognition based on machine vision and artificial intelligence allows for sorting batteries at high speed and with very high accuracy. For the most popular types, alkaline and saline, the sorting accuracy is> 99%.
The use of X-ray technology in battery testing is not limited to sorting portable batteries. As the number of electric vehicles grows, so does the number of produced batteries for them. Our technology simplifies the process of product quality control and makes it more reliable.
Our team is ready for new unknown to us problems and tasks in the field of production and processing of batteries.

6 Questions to Ask When Choosing Battery Storage for Your Solar Power System
Choosing the right lithium battery storage solution for your solar power system has never been more important.
More frequent, intense storms have led to more power outages, which means you rely on backup power more than ever. In states where you can&#;t sell excess energy back to the grid, you need to be able to store that energy and use it to power your home. In states like California where utilities charge a time-of-use rate, the right battery storage system can discharge power during peak times so you don&#;t have to pay higher rates from the utility company.
You need to choose a reliable lithium battery storage system that suits your specific requirements. While you don&#;t want to overpay for capacity you don&#;t need, you also have to be careful to avoid shortchanging yourself.
Make the right choice and you&#;ll see a high return on your investment. Make the wrong choice and you could be stuck with a system that doesn&#;t meet your expectations. The answers to these six questions will help you make an informed decision.
1) How frequently does my battery storage cycle each month?
A lithium battery offers more than 3,000 cycles compared to just 500-1,000 cycles for lead acid batteries. If you need more than 10 cycles per month, or 120 cycles per year, lithium can save you up to 70 percent in energy costs. A system programmed for self-supply or time-of-use cycles every day, making a lithium iron phosphate battery, which delivers 6,000 cycles, your most cost-effective option.
Even if your energy storage system cycles less than 10 times per month, lithium batteries come with a 10-year warranty. If your budget allows, lithium is the safer investment than lead acid batteries, which typically offer a warranty of just two to five years. For more information, check out our blog article on how to calculate the energy cost of different battery chemistries.
2) How much energy does my home consume each day?
For battery backup systems or off-grid application, 24-hour energy consumption of the circuits can be calculated on the backup load panel. The battery bank you select should be able to supply power for 24 hours at the very least. The bigger the battery bank, the more autonomy you have.

If your goal is to avoid high electricity costs by having your solar storage system self-supply your entire home load, the battery bank you choose should be big enough, at minimum, to power your home through the night. If your utility company uses a time-of-use rate, a review of previous electric bills will show your peak usage so you can choose the right-size battery bank.
3) Is the battery safe?
There are two main types battery chemistries used for energy storage applications &#; lithium iron phosphate (also called lithium ferro phosphate or LFP) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt (also called NMC or lithium ion).
Lithium iron has excellent thermal stability. A cobalt-based lithium ion battery, however, has poor thermal stability. This increases the risk of thermal runway, which can cause the battery cell to overheat, smoke, and even catch fire.
4) What cell type is used in the battery bank and how are cells wired together?
There are three types of battery cell &#; cylindrical, prismatic, and porch.
Thanks to their small size, cylindrical cells can be easily grouped together to form different battery bank sizes. However, cylindrical cells are heavy and provide low power density and slow heat dissipation.
Porch cells are ideal for consumer products, such as phones, because of their lighter weight and higher power density. Unfortunately, porch cells are difficult to wire together and deliver the poorest thermal stability. LG Chem RESU series batteries use porch cells.
In addition to having the lowest material degradation rate, highly durable Prismatic cells have a large capacity, which means you&#;ll need far fewer cells to form a 48-volt battery bank.
For example, only 16 battery cells are wired together in a Fortress Power eFlex 5.4, which uses cell-to-pack architecture to simplify the wiring process and improve reliability. Companies like Tesla, Panasonic, Simpliphi, and Discover use a few hundred cylindrical cells, which increases the complexity of the battery.
5) What type of Battery Management System (BMS) is used and how well does it communicate with inverters?
MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) BMS is more widely used in batteries because of its low cost. However, a sudden increase in consumption load or solar production can cause the inverter/charger to overpower the MOSFET, which increases the risk of short circuits and failure.
As companies place more emphasis on quality than low price, we&#;re seeing a shift to relay-based BMS. At Fortress Power, we build large, solid-state relays into the BMS to support the inverter/charger&#;s large charge and discharge power.
The best way to ensure seamless operation of your energy storage system is to establish the data communication between the inverter/charger and the battery. The battery BMS reports state of charge (SoC), voltage, current, and temperature to the inverter/charger. Analysis of these metrics makes it possible to adjust settings and schedule proactive maintenance to optimize battery performance and extend the life of your system.
6) In what environment does my energy storage system operate?
If you want to maximize the battery lifespan and system efficiency, your energy storage system should be installed in a temperature-controlled room. If you have to place the unit in the garage or outdoors, avoid charging the battery below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and exposing the battery to direct sunlight.
