[0036] When using the environmentally friendly waste battery storage bin of this utility model:

[0037] Firstly, the four storage compartments inside the main body box 2 allow for the categorized storage of used batteries. Each storage compartment is equipped with a pull-out recycling bin 1, facilitating convenient recycling and management of used batteries. The pull-out recycling bin 1 is designed so that it can be easily pulled out or pushed in from the storage compartment using the second handle 112 on the outer wall, making the process of retrieving and placing used batteries more convenient and faster.

[0038] Inside the pull-out recycling bin 1, several ventilation holes 12 are opened at the bottom to ensure air circulation between the inside and outside of the bin. Simultaneously, a mounting box 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the recycling bin, and several electric heating grids 11 are fixedly installed inside the mounting box 10. When the electric heating grids 11 are powered on, they generate heat, heating the surrounding air.
