I get a lot of these and no longer have a place to send them. I thought about getting into Lithium recovery given how many I have. I get Lithium UPS batteries all the time, 18650 that will not hold a charge and lithium polymer batteries from cells phones, RC cars and more. if I find working 18650 cells I put them in those cheap phone charger battery banks from aliexpress, but otherwise I have no use for them.

Any ideas of places that buy them or places that would by the recovered lithium?

I know a scrap yard near Austin, TX that still does. Was really hoping the ev market would create some demand for old batteries but it doesn't seem like it.

My guess would be no but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All American Recycling if you wanted to try and find out. And I don't remember what their prices are at this point.
