The high variety of applications for batteries, from flashlights to vehicles, demands may different battery chemistries and materials so as to meet the wide range of power, energy, size, weight, safety and cost requirements [1]. Among these different types of batteries, primary batteries (nonrechargeable), such as the alkaline and zinc varieties, and rechargeable batteries, such as lead/acid secondary batteries can be found. Portable secondary batteries are the most widely used in electrical and electronic equipments. The recycling processes of these portable rechargeable batteries (NiCd, NiMH and LIBs), along with the recycling of primary zinc-manganese dioxide systems, are going to be discussed in this chapter.
