HS v2022 Code: 850750

About electric accumulators; nickel-metal hydride, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

HS code 850750 covers the import and export of electric accumulators, specifically those using nickel-metal hydride technology. These rechargeable batteries are widely used in a variety of applications, from consumer electronics to hybrid and electric vehicles, making them a crucial component in the modern economy. Their ability to store and release electrical energy efficiently has made them an indispensable part of many industries, contributing to the development of more sustainable and energy-efficient technologies.

Production process

The production of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries involves several key steps. First, the active materials, including nickel hydroxide and a hydrogen-absorbing alloy, are prepared and combined. These materials are then pressed into thin plates or electrodes, which are stacked or rolled and inserted into a battery casing. The assembly is then filled with an electrolyte solution and sealed, completing the battery cell. Quality control and testing are crucial throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the batteries meet safety and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 850750 items include nickel, rare earth metals, and other raw materials used in the active components of the batteries. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as electrode presses, cell assembly machines, and testing apparatus, are also essential. Additionally, the production process requires a clean and controlled environment to maintain product quality and safety.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 850750 is nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are used in a wide range of applications. These batteries are commonly found in 851760 hybrid and electric vehicles, 851770 portable electronic devices, and 850720 emergency power systems. The demand for these batteries is driven by the need for reliable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly power sources across various industries.
