The 18650 cell is fairly standardized though.
One might imagine a machine to rapidly tear the cells out of car battery packs, automatically test each cell, and then reassemble the rest into a new utility level pack.
It might turn out to be better to just grind the whole lot up in a fire suppressing environment, extract the lithium metal, and remake the cells from scratch though.
