- Casing Material: Industrial units like Steel Case Forklift Batteries require extra labor to strip the steel housing, affecting the net poundage price.
- Chemistry Complexity: High-grade Lithium Ion Batteries are valued for cobalt and nickel recovery rather than lead, requiring specialized processing.
- State of Charge/Leakage: Cracked or leaking cases are often rejected or heavily docked due to environmental handling surcharges.
