- Lead-acid (UPS/inverter) and lithium batteries carry different risks.
- Swollen, leaking or damaged batteries need photos before pickup.
Lithium batteries
For laptop battery recycling, laptop, phone and power bank batteries use lithium-ion cells, which carry a different risk profile from lead-acid — they can swell or, if damaged, pose a fire risk. Keep them separate from lead-acid batteries as well as from general electronics.
Damaged batteries need extra care
For laptop battery recycling, a swollen battery has already started to fail internally — don't puncture it, don't try to flatten it back into shape, and keep it away from other items and heat. Photograph it and flag it specifically when booking so the team can plan safe handling.
Common mistakes to avoid
Throwing any battery into household waste, storing damaged cells in a closed cupboard, and mixing UPS batteries in with mixed electronic scrap are the most common — and most avoidable — issues.
