Page 27: End Of Life
Due to the stability and longevity of LFP cylindrical cells, returned batteries will be refurbished and checked so they can be repurposed for low power applications and made available for community, education, and charity projects. Any batteries not suitable for repurposing will be sent to a licensed recycling facility, where all ferrous and nonferrous metals are separated and then forwarded to our recycling partners.
