Know Exactly What You're Buying
Stop guessing at battery pack specs. Decode any VIN to identify the exact battery, weight breakdown, chemistry, and fair market value—before you make an offer.
The Problem with Battery Buying
Every vehicle that comes through your yard is a black box. You need answers fast.
Vehicle arrives, but which battery is inside?
Decode the VIN to instantly identify the exact pack configuration.
Same model year offered with 3 different batteries
Our database tracks every trim-level battery variation.
Pack weighs 1,000 lbs, but how much is recyclable?
See net cell weight separate from enclosure and BMS.
Is this NMC or LFP? Price difference is massive.
Cathode chemistry clearly identified with confidence scores.
Sample Pack
Tesla Model S 85 kWh
74% of pack weight is recyclable cells
Enclosure
Metallic (Aluminum)
Weight Breakdown Matters
A 1,200 lb battery pack doesn't mean 1,200 lbs of recyclable material. The enclosure, BMS, cooling system, and structural components all add weight but have different values than the cells themselves.
Know net cell weight
Calculate actual recyclable material value
Factor in enclosure value
Metallic enclosures add to scrap value
Pay the right price
Fair market value based on actual contents
Input: What You're Buying
Battery Pack
Fair Market Value
$1,850 - $2,100
Based on current commodity prices and verified pack specifications. This is what you should expect to pay for this battery.
Note: Your output (black mass) value will be higher. This estimate helps you negotiate acquisition costs.
Complete Battery Intelligence
Every data point you need to make informed purchasing decisions.
Battery Pack Identification
Know exactly which battery pack is in every vehicle. No more guessing when a VIN could match multiple pack configurations.
Pack vs Cell Weight
See gross pack weight and the actual cell/module weight inside. Know how many pounds of recyclable material you're actually acquiring.
Cathode Chemistry
Instantly identify NMC, NCA, LFP, or other chemistries. Chemistry determines both value and processing requirements.
Enclosure Material
Metal or plastic enclosure? Factor in the housing material value when calculating your acquisition costs.
Live Commodity Prices
Real-time nickel, cobalt, lithium pricing to calculate fair market value. Never overpay for a battery pack again.
DOT Hazard Classification
Know the hazard status upfront for shipping and compliance. Avoid surprises when it's time to transport.
Everything You Need in One Place
From VIN decode to fair market value—all the data to run your operation.
Make Data-Driven Purchasing Decisions
Stop relying on guesswork. Know exactly what you're buying, what it's worth, and how to handle it—before you make an offer.
