| 释义 |
The Battery Council International (BCI) is a trade association of manufacturers of original-equipment and after-market automobile batteries and other lead-acid batteries. Its headquarters are in Chicago, USA. It promotes the recycling of lead-acid batteries, and claims that almost all car batteries are eventually recycled.[1] After Ecology Center, Environmental Defence and the Clean Car Campaign published a report in 2003 which called for the elimination of lead-based car batteries,[2] [3] [4] BCI issued a press release disputing the report's conclusions.[5] The trade association provides industry standards for testing, dimensions, and sizes of lead-acid batteries worth over $1 billion in the North American market each year. The trade association provides models for legislation to encourage the recycling and safe handling of automotive lead-acid battery products. It also organizes regular conferences and meetings.[6] In August 2017, Battery Council International launched [https://essentialenergyeveryday.com Essential Energy Everyday], a joint initiative with the [https://www.ila-lead.org/ International Lead Association] to increase awareness about the importance of lead batteries as a key resource for sustainable, essential, reliable, and safe energy sources and storage.
