About electric accumulators; parts n.e.c. in heading no. 8507

hs code 850790 covers a critical component of modern electrical and electronic systems - electric accumulators, also known as rechargeable batteries. These devices play a vital role in powering a wide range of products, from portable electronics to electric vehicles, making them an essential part of the global economy. The production and trade of these accumulators is a significant industry, with applications across numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of electric accumulators typically involves several key steps. First, the active materials, such as lead, lithium, or nickel, are prepared and formed into the necessary electrode structures. These electrodes are then assembled into the accumulator casing, along with the electrolyte solution that allows the flow of ions during charging and discharging. Finally, the assembled accumulators undergo various testing and quality control measures before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric accumulators include the raw materials for the electrodes, such as lead, lithium, or nickel, as well as the electrolyte solutions and various other components like the casing and separators. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as electrode forming machines and assembly lines, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production processes and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850790 is, of course, electric accumulators, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These accumulators are used to power 851840 portable digital automatic data processing machines, 851770 electric accumulators for vehicles, and a variety of other electrical and electronic devices. The accumulators produced under this code may also be used as replacement parts or components in the maintenance and repair of existing electrical systems.
