Electric accumulators; other than lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-iron, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

HS v2017 Code: 850780

About electric accumulators; other than lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-iron, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

hs code 850780 covers a range of electric accumulators, also known as batteries, that are not based on lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-iron, nickel-metal hydride, or lithium-ion technologies. These alternative battery types play a crucial role in powering a variety of electronic devices and systems, particularly in industries where specialized energy storage solutions are required. As the global demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage continues to grow, the importance of this hs code within the broader economy is expected to increase.

Production process

The production of electric accumulators covered under hs code 850780 typically involves several key steps. First, the active materials, such as metal oxides or other electrochemical compounds, are prepared and formed into the positive and negative electrodes. These electrodes are then separated by an insulating material, known as a separator, which allows the flow of ions between them. The electrodes and separator are then assembled into a casing, which is filled with an electrolyte solution to facilitate the electrochemical reactions. Finally, the assembled battery is subjected to formation and testing procedures to ensure its proper functioning.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric accumulators under hs code 850780 include the active materials for the electrodes, such as metal oxides, conductive additives, and binders. Additionally, the separators, casings, and electrolyte solutions are essential components. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as electrode coating machines, cell assembly lines, and formation and testing systems, are also necessary for the production process.

Production outputs

The electric accumulators covered under hs code 850780 are used to power a wide range of electronic devices and systems, including portable electronics, backup power supplies, and specialized industrial applications. These batteries may be consumed by industries covered under other hs codes, such as 851770 Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter, 851790 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8535, 8536 or 8537, and 851780 (Electric accumulators, incl. separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square); parts thereof), among others.
