Product Code:SAE J2984
Title:Identification of Transportation Battery Systems for Recycling Recommended Practice
Issuing Committee:Battery Standards Recycling Committee
Scope: The chemistry identification system is intended to support the proper and efficient recycling of rechargeable battery systems used in transportation applications with a maximum voltage greater than 12V (including SLI batteries). The identification code shall be applied in a visible location on the outer-most non-serviceable cover(s) of the battery system and/or its components. Other battery systems such as non-rechargeable batteries, batteries contained in electronics, and telecom/utility batteries are not considered in the development of this specification. This does not preclude these systems from adapting the format proposed if they so chose.
