I don’t know.

Perhaps it’s possible to partially recycle, or maybe it’s not economical.

I’ve only read about or asked the broader question. Not the why.

But my understanding is that they can’t be recycled - yet. Given the huge numbers of battery waste that I expect to be generated in the future, I’m sure that we’ll get a solution in the not-to-distant future. But that doesn’t help the OP.

I don’t see why not. Cut them open separate the copper foil from the
aluminum and recycle them normally. You could just leave the graphene
and lithium slurry on there.

I agree with Marco.

To my knowledge, squeezing out the rest of the life through energy storage is really the only next useful stage for these batteries. The y cannot be recycled.

I recently took my Saturn Vue EV out of service and have 48 LiOn cells in
my garage.  I am trying to find a way to *dispose/donate/sell them*.

Does anyone know if *regular metal/battery recyclers* take them? I did try to give them to someone but the cross country shipping logistics were a
nightmare. I live halfway between Philly and NYC.

If I decide to keep them does anyone see any problems or *safety issues* having them sit in a heated garage, partially to mostly discharged, for a
couple years?

Cell details
48 Calb 180Ah cells (they have not been charged for at least two years) The cells were put into service in 2011 and have ~30000 miles on them. I
estimate ~500-600 partial charge/discharge cycles.
