Can Eaton lithium-ion UPS batteries be recycled?

Yes, using the same processes and vendors that we offer on our http://www.Eaton.com/batteryrecycle website. Alternatively, some battery vendors, and some third parties will recommend that, rather than recycling, the used batteries should be shipped to them, where they will be refurbished and reused in a second life application, where they may be in service for an additional 5-6 years before finally reaching their end of life. While few of these organizations exist today, it is likely that many battery re-use entities will enter the market over the initial 10-year life of a UPS lithium-ion battery.
