How UpFix Repairs Help Keep Lithium Batteries Out of Landfills

As the demand for electric vehicles, solar energy storage, and smart devices grows, so does the number of lithium batteries in use—and eventually, in need of replacement. Unfortunately, most of these batteries are tossed into landfills when they stop working, even if the issue is minor or fixable.

At UpFix, we’re changing that.

By offering expert LiFePO₄ battery and BMS repairs, we help customers extend the life of their original batteries and significantly reduce electronic waste. Here’s how choosing repair over replacement helps protect the planet—without sacrificing performance.


 

The Problem With Throwing Batteries Away

Every year, millions of lithium batteries are discarded—even when many could be repaired. These discarded batteries:

  • Contain toxic materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel

  • Can leak harmful chemicals into the soil and water

  • Are highly flammable and pose fire risks in landfills

  • Require significant energy and resources to manufacture new replacements

The worst part? Many “bad” batteries are actually perfectly usable—they’re just suffering from a faulty BMS or a few out-of-balance cells.


 

Repair Extends Battery Life—By Years

When you send your lithium battery to UpFix, we perform a full diagnostic, pinpoint the failure, and replace only what’s necessary—like:

  • Damaged or degraded cells

  • Faulty BMS components

  • Corroded connectors or broken terminals

  • Outdated firmware

  • Imbalanced cell groups

This extends the usable life of your battery—often by several years—and keeps another large, toxic component out of a landfill.


 

UpFix by the Numbers

We don’t just talk sustainability—we measure it.

  • 💡 Over 2.3 million pounds of electronic waste diverted from landfills

  • ♻️ Thousands of lithium batteries restored instead of discarded

  • 🧠 Advanced diagnostics that target the problem—not the whole pack

  • 🚚 Optional eco-packaging for returns and recycled materials when possible
