Where Do EV Batteries Go When They Die?

Glad these guys are forward thinking. It's better to anticipate a problem and handle it preemptively. We need more companies like this.

Great Recycling is an essential part of electrification.

EV drivetrain battery pack recycling and repurposing will become an incredibly important industry moving forward. I am thankful for these startups.

An important part of the EV equation.

$ABML - American Battery Technology Company. Holding since 2020 and couldn’t be more excited!

I think the next real big innovation will be some form of standardized battery dimensions. This will help these companies with recycling as they would have more unified approach so they aren't taking angle grinders to the tops of the units to get at the batteries. But also probably add some automation to disassembly because they could be put into a jig to just unbolt the entire top in a single pass. We already have standardized charging ports on the cars, so locking down the battery dimensions would be the next real step to help with recycling and maintenance.

ABTC is the only US company that will be mining AND recycling. Simply incredible.

The method the items are placed into recycling standard is excellent. It saves the environment, while raw materials are always derived from its source. It can always be as efficient with its products, goods and the services that it brings. PLDT SME nation..thank you

Big fan of American battery technology company ! ♻️♻️♻️

Wish these videos showed the specific processes. Like the black mush. Is it seperated? Can you seperate lithium from that? Does anyone buy the black mush or do they use it? How was the black mush made? Did they just put a battery in a blender.

This is wonderful to see!

Great information here. This is just the beginning of a whole new industry that will support EVs.

Love this topic! Can CNBC interview CEOs from American Batt, Redwood, etc??

This is so encouraging! I've seen a YT video where a garage that works only on EV's fixed a "dead" battery by replacing a few defective cells. Batteries consist of cells, your lead acid car battery has six of them. It's rare that they all degrade at the same rate. I recently had a car battery that was all but dead. Using a hydrometer (it measures the specific gravity of the acid) three cells were excellent and three were dead! Applying this to a hundred? celled EV battery, you find the bed cells, replace them with good ones from other "dead" batteries. You can bet someone will be rebuilding Tesla batteries before long. Too big a market place and oh-so-easy to beat the price of a new Tesla battery.

Folks with home solar love to get these batteries. Even if they are degraded they still hold many times the energy of a Tesla power wall.

ABML needs to partner with SQM from Chile so they can mine their 15 million tons of the mineral they have recently discovered on the property ABML owns in Nevada. They also need to partner with one of the big automakers in the US for battery recycling (GM, Ford or Tesla). Mining and recycling is the key here for ABML. ABML will be a double digit stock very soon!!

What the world should do now is to create a standardized form factor for this batteries in every category possible.

It would seem like there would be a bigger market for recycling the material. As battery technology improves and changes, putting these packs back into their original form wouldn’t seem the best course of action. I like the idea of the upgrading to current specifications, but that doesn’t necessarily mean to the newest and best chemistries out there. Of course, there will always be a need for older batteries so we can have a thriving used car market as well. Finding the right balance, I suppose, is the tricky part.

I keep imagining in the future we’ll be mining landfills for minerals

Great initiative 👍
