<p>A method for sorting used batteries and cells (4) having different shapes and sizes and different chemical compositions, wherein the batteries are magnetically sorted by applying magnetic fields to separate batteries and cells with a ferromagnetic component (6) from non-magnetic batteries and cells (7), whereafter the ferromagnetic batteries (6) are sorted according to their size to divide them preferably into three groups, i.e. ferromagnetic multicells, prismatics and monocells (6.1, 6.2, 6.3), and the non-magnetic batteries and cells (7) are sorted according to their size to divide them into two groups, i.e. non-ferromagnetic multicells and monocells (7.1, 7.2). The ferromagnetic monocells (6.3) are then sorted by a head (12) according to their chemical composition, whereas the non-magnetic multicell are sorted by another sensor (16). After sorting, the batteries and cells are grouped together according to their chemical compatibility and sent to suitable recycling processes.</p> |
