Introduction
The Blackstone Battery Code system was created internally by Blackstone Resources AG as a consequence of the company's research into battery technology. In 2018, the coding system was made open-source under the creative commons licencing system. It is hoped that this could help enhance the depose process for batteries and support new recycling technologies.

The coding system identifies the battery metal mix of the battery, along with its chemistry and the technology it uses. It could one be used to help commoditise a single form-factor format that is currently use domestically for over-the-counter batteries used in retail appliances i.e. AA and AAA batteries that are defined by the American standard specification for dry cells with was created by the American National Standards Institute.

How it works
The coding system identifies the technology used and the elements used within. Each code is broken down into four section. Section one identifies the coding system i.e. BBC. Second two defines the technology type and elements used, such as lithium and cobalt. Section three explain the proportion of each element used, rounded to the nearest decile percentage. Finally, section four explains whether any additional elements have been used.
