How a lead-acid battery is recycled?

By Kids of RMB 

So firstly, when the lead-acid battery arrives at the facility, the lead-acid pods are taken out of the battery and are put into the water! Water separates the deadly acid from the pods making it easier to recycle! 

Next, after a few hours, the pods are removed from the water and put into a furnace! They are melted into lead ingots after 10 hours! Then after melting, they are left to dry for a few hours! There is enough lead in these batteries to power up 3 lead-acid batteries!

Lastly, the lead is remelted and reshaped into a lead that can fit inside a battery! Then the battery is created again for people to reuse! So this is the process of how it is recycled!

Please do make the earth a better place to live for our future generations to come!!!
