ABSTRACT:
Metals are recovered from the electrodes and connections of spent electric storage batteries by the step of: (a) recharging the spent electric batteries; (b) removing the electrolyte from said recharged electric batteries; (c) removing the bottom of said recharged batteries from which the electrolyte has been removed; (d) washing the electrodes and inside and outside the bottomless batteries obtained in step (c) with water; (e) drying the batteries washed in step (d) and closing the openings in the top of the dry batteries; (f) connecting the positive terminal of a power supply to the negative pole of the batteries obtained according to step (e) with protection against contact between electrolyte and the negative pole; and (g) immersing the batteries obtained according to step (f) in an electrolyte.
