One of the reasons lithium based batteries are typically not recycled by operations similar to the picture that you have provided is that they have a nasty habit of catching on fire or even exploding when mishandled. Lithium reacts violently with MOISTURE, WATER or STEAM - producing heat along with flammable Hydrogen gas and toxic Lithium Hydroxide. They do not have to be crushed to explode.
