You sure can! Lithium, in theory, can be recycled an unlimited amount of times and still be usable for creating more batteries. There are many areas and programs dedicated to recycling old electronics and the batteries that accompany them. Although it actually costs more to recycle a lithium battery than it takes to mine the lithium, recycling is still encouraged because demand for lithium is increasing and supply may shift in the future.

What happens to the used torches?

Can electrons in chemistry be recycled?

this is my theory that i have recently come upon. energy cannot e recycled. an electron goes up an energy level when excited- energy is applied then it goes back down to ground and releases light this releasement of light is the electron being used the answer is no, an elctron cannot be recycled, when new energy is formed, new electrons are formed. think about it this way, if electrons were recyclable, batteries would never die.=)


Where to recycle batteries?

alkaline batteries or other non rechargeables can be thrown away. anything rechargeable needs to be recycled. some states like California requires alkalines to be recycled.. something you might wanna check into first before you throw yours away.
