Which code does this activity belong in?
Primary battery manufacturing covers establishments that produce batteries designed for single-use or non-rechargeable applications, such as disposable flashlight batteries and watch batteries. Storage battery manufacturing, conversely, covers establishments producing rechargeable batteries that can be repeatedly charged and discharged, including lead acid and rechargeable lithium batteries. The key distinction is whether the battery is intended for one-time use or can be restored to full capacity through recharging.
