Buying out batteries
Nord Holding is engaged in buying out old batteries, incl. lead-acid batteries – automotive, industrial or from uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices.
This type of waste falls into the category of unusable batteries and accumulators – UBA, which we manage in accordance with the Ordinance on Batteries and Accumulators and UBA.
Most often they come from various types of vehicles, industrial machines and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices that are no longer able to perform their functions.
Lead-acid batteries contain lead and acid, which are dangerous for the environment and require special treatment when recycling!
As a result of the processing of batteries, depending on their type, valuable raw materials, waste of ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as iron, lead, cadmium, copper, aluminum, nickel and others are obtained.
If you have old car batteries, trust Nord Holding – we buy batteries from individuals and legal entities at the best prices.
What types of batteries do we buy?
Nord Holding buys the two most common types of batteries used in vehicles today, including:
Lead-acid batteries from cars
The more common type of battery devices with which all modern cars are equipped. They function as batteries that power the starter motor and/or lights. Lead-acid batteries are made from materials such as lead, plastic and electrolyte. They can be recycled to a high degree – up to about 90%;
Lithium-ion batteries (accumulators) for electric vehicles
Also known as traction batteries, serve to power the electric vehicles entering the world market today. They are made from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, binders, electrolyte, graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese.
Conditions under which we buy car UBA
We buy batteries of different sizes and conditions, such as batteries with a plastic case – without violation of the integrity of the case, with caps, and the battery grids: they shall be free from paste and plastic residue.
Due to the cost of recycling exceeding the value of the extracted materials, lithium-ion car batteries can only be accepted by prior agreement with the supplier to pay a certain fee.
A specific requirement for the delivery of batteries and accumulators containing liquid (such as automotive batteries) is that they be delivered with a undamaged case, caps available and liquid preserved.
