The present invention provides a method for recovering an oxide-containing battery material from a waste battery material. The recovery method includes steps (1) and (2) in this order: (1) a step of immersing a base taken out of the waste battery material and the base having an oxide-containing battery material, in a solvent that does not substantially dissolve the oxide, and stripping the battery material from the base thereby, and (2) a step of separating the battery material from the base.
