This is why it’s a good idea to disassemble lithium-ion battery packs for its cells. In most other cases, just a single cell has failed. Remember, battery packs are made of many cells that are grouped in a specific way. So, if one cell dies, it will bring down the cells that it is immediately attached to.
It generally means that the other cell groups are just fine. Lithium-ion battery packs are spot welded together. So it's no small feat to separate the cells. In fact, breaking down a lithium-ion battery pack is a rather involved process that takes care and patience. You have to be extremely careful when breaking down a lithium-ion battery pack.
Battery packs may contain complex control circuitry or a battery management system (BMS), which should also be removed. The disassembly process should avoid accidental shorting of the internal cells. A single cell battery should be stripped down so that all that remains are the external case and the cell itself.
Currently, there are no standards or methodologies for conducting lithium–ion battery disassembly, but IEEE 1625 [ 4 ], “Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Multi-Cell Mobile Computing Devices,” notes that to conduct disassembly: “… a specialized, highly trained operator is essential.
The total cost per pack disassembly into modules ranges from EUR 80 to 110, depending on the size of the disassembly plants, in Germany. Rallo et al. considered the laboratory scale and determined a total cost of EUR 1325 to disassemble the Smart ForFour battery pack into cells.
The remainder of this paper outlines the considerations that should be taken when disassembling a battery in order to produce test results that are indicative of the true operating state of the battery. Before a battery is disassembled, precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of any handlers during the disassembly process.
