Why nobody want to recycle the old lithium batteries?

Besides lead-acid battery, there are still some electric cars using lithium batteries, but when replacing lithium batteries, we found that noboday wants to use old lithium batteries, why does this happen?

Although lithium batteries are mainly made of lithium metal, and lithium metal also has certain commercial value, the manufacturing process of lithium process of lithium batteries is complex, if lithium metal is to be extracted into lithium batteries, it needs high level of technology, which leads to high extraction cost. Finally, because there is no profit, so few people are willing to extract lithium metal, so there are no industrial chain, when the electric vehicle enterprises are trying to replace the lithium battery, if they are use lithium battery, the old lithium battery is nowhere to sell, so nobody order the lithium battery.

In addition, the lithium battery can be used for a long time and the number of users is small, so there are few quantity of old lithium battery in the market, even if someone who want to recycle and extract lithium metal, the amount is very small and the sales volume is not high, due to the low profits and even makes no money, so the old lithium batteries are not ordered.

No matter lead-acid battery or lithium battery, the reason that the people are willing to recycle at a high price is because lead-acid batteries has huge profits and it has complete industrial chain behind. After electric vehicle enterprises recycle, it is easy to see the profits so electric vehicle enterprises are willing to recycle at a high price and there are few users of lithium battery, and product life is long, the extraction and recovery process is complex, so this is why no one cares about it.
