Battery Recycling Companies

Many batteries can be recycled rather than disposed of as either a solid or hazardous waste.Hp laptop battery, The following is a partial listing of battery recycling companies:

Mercury Refining Company (MERCO), (800) 833-3505. They accept mercury, silver, and carbon-zinc batteries for recycling. They also have agreements with battery recyclers who can process ni-cad and lithium batteries.

Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), (540) 720-9225. Presario R3000(compaq r3000 battery), Presario X6000, Pavilion ZV5000(hp zv5000 battery), Pavilion ZV6000(hp zv6000 battery)
They have a contract with the International Metals Reclamation Company Incorporated to recycle ni-cad batteries.

Battery Conservation Technologies, Incorporated, (915) 447-3272. They will recycle alkaline, carbon-zinc, mercury, silver, ni-cad, and lead-acid batteries.

Sound Management Practices

PRO-ACT suggests coordinating with the following installation organizations prior to disposing or recycling used batteries:

The installation Environmental Management Office to ensure conformance with environmental regulations;

The installation Transportation Office to ensure conformance with transportation regulations;

The servicing DRMO to ensure conformance with DoD polices; Presario R3000(compaq r3000 battery),and,

The base Safety and Bioenvironmental Engineering offices to ensure proper personal protective equipment is available for safe handling.

General Battery Storage Requirements

Batteries require some care to ensure proper and safe storage. The following suggestions are offered:

Batteries require cool, well ventilated, dry storage areas.

Temperatures should not exceed 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

Protect batteries against being damaged, crushed, punctured, or short-circuited.

Do not smoke or eat in battery storage areas.

Definitions

The following definitions will assist you in understanding battery terminology and making proper waste determinations:

Anode:Presario X6000, The terminal of a battery or cell that releases electrons during the production of any external current; the negative terminal of a primary cell or battery.

Battery: Technically, a combination of two or more cells electrically connected to transform chemical energy into electrical energy. In everyday usage, a single cell such as the one found in a flashlight is also referred to as a battery.

Cathode: The terminal of a battery or cell that accepts electrons during the production of an electric current; the positive terminal of a primary cell or battery.

Cell: A device, which generates electricity, consisting of two different substances placed in an electrolyte.

Dry Cell: A cell, in which the electrolyte exists in a paste and is absorbed in a porous medium, or is otherwise restrained from flowing.

Electrolyte: The conducting medium for the flow of current in a cell.

Non-Rechargeable: A characteristic of a primary battery that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy irreversibly.

Primary Battery: One that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy irreversibly. Pavilion ZV5000(hp zv5000 battery),

Rechargeable: A characteristic of a storage battery that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa.

Secondary battery: One that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa.

Serviceable Battery: One that can be used for its originally intended purpose.

Storage battery: Same as secondary battery.

Unserviceable Battery: One that is in such a condition or state that it cannot be used for its originally intended purpose.

Wet Cell: A cell whose electrolyte is in liquid form and free to flow.

Never dispose of batteries in fire, as they could explode. Pavilion ZV6000(hp zv6000 battery)

Remove worn-out batteries from equipment immediately and dispose of promptly.

Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery specifically is marked "rechargeable." Dispose of immediately.







General Purpose & Alkaline Batteries



Alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Due to concerns about mercury in the municipal solid waste stream, Duracell has voluntarily eliminated all of the added mercury from its alkaline batteries since 1993 — while maintaining the performance you demand. Our alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metals — steel, zinc and manganese — and do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal.

It is important not to ,Presario R3000(compaq r3000 battery), Presario X6000, Pavilion ZV5000(hp zv5000 battery), Pavilion ZV6000(hp zv6000 battery)
dispose of large amounts of alkaline batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely "dead." Grouping used batteries together can bring these "live" batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks.
