From vehicles to renewable energy and backup power, batteries are essential to modern life. Battery Council International (BCI) represents a sustainable, innovative industry that powers daily life, supports a strong domestic supply chain, and leads the way in energy storage, recycling, and a low-carbon future.


Discover the facilities that power North America’s battery infrastructure. The BCI Interactive Member Map highlights the network of manufacturers, recyclers, and suppliers that form the backbone of North America’s energy storage manufacturing and recycling capabilities.
Batteries support a vast array of applications, from small-scale power storage and transportation to industrial operations and large grid-scale power systems. They are essential in powering everything from golf carts to microgrids, driving efficiency, innovation, and sustainability across industries.
BCI’s National Recycling Rate Study confirms that the U.S. lead battery industry continues its outstanding recycling rate of 99% — the highest of any consumer product in the U.S. Lead batteries are the gold standard in how to create a highly successful, closed-loop, domestic circular economy.

We all believe that advanced lead batteries have the technical capabilities to support next generation energy storage facilities, and we’re already working hard to bring that potential into reality.
