India Battery Waste Management Rules term for materials contained in a battery, including metals such as nickel, cobalt, lead, and lithium plus other materials.
The India Battery Waste Management Rules use battery materials as a broad materials-contained-in-the-battery concept. The definition captures metals such as nickel, cobalt, lead, and lithium alongside other materials, which makes it wider than chemistry-family language and different from a full bill of materials.
This page is anchored in the India Battery Waste Management Rules. Keep the India source layer separate from EU active material, U.S. 45X electrode active material, and passport bill-of-materials data unless a page is explicitly comparing those scopes.

Public draft page. India source definition only; do not treat it as a global battery-materials taxonomy.
Use this term for an India EPR record that needs a material category, battery category, recovery evidence, recycler or refurbisher link, reporting period, and downstream treatment route. Do not use the broad materials label as proof of recycled content, responsible sourcing, or due-diligence completion.
Battery materials is an India materials-scope control: the evidence consequence is that recovery, reporting, and EPR workflows can reference material categories without pretending to hold component-level composition proof.
