  • Abstract
    After a stationary battery has reached end-of-life or is no longer required for use, it must be carefully managed and steered through a mandated disposal and reclamation process. The failure to do this, can cause the owner to fall foul of several regulatory requirements that may result in various legal actions resulting in heavy fines or even imprisonment. In most cases, the owner is deemed to be the person or entity that takes delivery of the battery from the manufacturer or supplier and uses that battery. Used batteries, or more correctly, spent batteries, are also referred to in the industry as junks or cores.
