EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• Recycling lead-acid batteries is a longstanding and well-understood process, with mechanisms already in place to assist data centre operators in disposing of end-of-use batteries with minimal environmental impact
• Yet the complexity of recycling processes for different battery chemistries can lead to uncertain costs – and operators are under multiple pressures, from operational to safety aspects
• This eBook explores how EnerSys, through its proprietary Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL), helps improve performance while still offering full recyclability attributes that have been achieved with traditional lead-acid batteries
