Well lead scrap current going rate is 70p/kg, so if battery about 10Kg
probably a fiver!

Depends on weight, obviously, but the last one I got rid of (70 amp/hr)
was about a fiver.

That's interesting, the local (national chain) Tyre/Battery/Exhaust
place wanted to *charge* me a couple of quid to "dispose of" the old
one. I took it to the tip where they collect them for free. Never
thought of asking someone to pay to take it away.

Does it cost more than a fiver each to get a scrappie to collect a bulk
order of scrap car batteries? (Such that the fiver each he pays you
doesn't cover the cost of ringing him up to come round and collect
them?)

I realise that. And I'm not sure where I'd find one, other than the
local "tip" (waste recycling facility) doubling as one - but with
everything they get being for free.

There are three that I know of closer to here than the 'tip' which is
about a couple of miles away. I'd say the same would apply in most towns.
Look up your yellow pages, etc.

My 'tip' is about a mile away (and where I last lived about 500yds).

According to Yell, the nearest scrap metal[1] dealer is 9.5 miles away.

[1] There's a scrap-car dealer closer, but do they pay for batteries?

At one of the council scrap yards I've used, all the lead acid batteries
are chucked into a skip. I have visions of the driver trying to lift it
up and wondering why all the batteries are still on the ground and the
skip has no bottom. At another site, they're all stacked carefully,
keeping them the right way up.

I don't recall the dates now, but something like 20 years ago, the
industry got around 90% of dead car batteries back to the manufacturers
for recycling, because the value of them was enough to pay for their
return. Then the government introduced recycling certificates to
make sure none of them were being discarded, and the recyling rate
plummeted due to having to buy the certificates and process paperwork
for each dead battery. As lead prices have risen, this does now cover
the recyling paperwork overhead and the recycling rate has risen again.

very much unlikely, it's the metal dealers that will take the lead out of
the case and process it,
the scrap car yards just deal in parts... they may well power wash the case
and offer it for sale mind.

i remember a few years ago in germany, i bought a small car battery from a
supermarket to use with an electric outboard for my inflatable canoe, i had
just enough cash for it, as the shop didn't accept visa cards,
then at the till another 10 odd euro's was added to the price, 'Pfand' said
the cashier,

Which means deposit for recycling, common on things like bottles of pop, 30
cents is added to the price of a 1.5 litre bottle, you get it back when you
return the plastic bottle to any shop, just like our old glass bottles here

I imagine the battery deposit is refunded if i were to take the dead battery
back in a few years, tho it may also cover the cost of having it recycled,
unfortunately i couldent put into german that i was going to be taking it to
england with me in a few months, where i'd dispose of it there, not that i
imagine anything could have been done about the deposit jobbie,

The battery I replaced was twelve years old, and was probably bought the
other end of the country. Would one have to keep the receipt, and would
any garage pay back the deposit?

>tho it may also cover the cost of having it recycled,

We are told that the cost is minus five pounds.

If that 50% of the weight of the battery, or 50% of the weight of the

I infer the weight of the whole battery is worth 50% of the clean lead
value.

Right, so you are getting 50% of the battery weight rather than 60%.
That's not too bad of a discount, given that the scrappie has to break
it apart, dispose of the plastic and acid etc.

Roland Perry

[The Natural Philosopher]

That is not done.

The acid is part of lead smelting anyway - lead sulphide its the usual
ore: when visited a big lead smelters in france they were also smashing
batteries and it all to the mix and dealing with the acid as part of
their general processing.

"Galena, the most common mineral of lead, is primarily lead sulfide
(PbS). The sulfide is oxidized to a sulfite (PbSO3) which thermally
decomposes into lead oxide and sulfur dioxide gas. (PbO and SO2) The
sulfur dioxide (like the carbon dioxide in the example above) is
expelled, and the lead oxide is reduced. Anglesite, Cerussite,
Pyromorphite, Mimetite and Wulfenite are other lead ores.

Other elements frequently present with lead ores include zinc and
silver.[2]"

I wasn't able to check it was rainwater, but since my fingers didn't

No. It's not very relevant when you have batteries, but the battery price is.

Actually it might. The great commodities supercycle that started in 2002
had a hiccup in 2008 but the Chinese pumped $zillions into the world
economy, which simply reinflated asset prices. It hit a peak in late
2011 (witness BlackRock Gold & general fund price since then). Look at
the historical share prices of Rio Tinto and Broken Hill Propriety to
see what was 'normal' prior to 2002.

Now we all know what the Chinese have been doing since 2009 - in just 5
years they have built up the level of debt (and much of it in their
shadow banking system) that the USA took 100 years to acquire.

Oil might go back to about $50 and then bumble along at this level for
quite while, but the dollar is the problem, and it's US presidential
year (Weak Dollar = Strong Commodities; Strong Dollar = Weak
Commodities, this is why even with cheap oil, we still pay £1 per litre).

Base metals and thermal coal are dependent on Chinese demand, but they
have built ghost cities and tower blocks of residential flats everywhere
and no-one wants to buy them. Then when the writing was on the wall for
their contrived building boom (end 2013) they allowed Chinese citizens
to open share trading accounts and speculate on equities using borrowed
money !! (Blimey, didn't they look at the history of share price
volatility in Hong kong ?). That bubble popped in June 2015. One can
only guess what the Chinese government will try next (40% devaluation ??)

I know they vary, but is a typical battery around 5 Kgs? If so, 3 are

Of course, they might weigh more than that, and I might be stronger than

Last time I tried (which is long time ago), they didn't want them -
too much paperwork. They would take them for nothing, but you only
got paid for much bigger batteries than cars use.

This is when I found out the government had introduced a scheme to
ensure they all got recycled, but it requires a form filling out and
handing on for every battery being returned. Prior to that, the return
rate through unofficial channels was very high anyway, but then it
plummeted because the overheads exceeded the value, and the unofficial
channels were no longer allowed to carry them without all the paperwork.

Crow Metals Ltd are currently paying £630 a ton for Lead/Acid Batteries. We are based in Crow Lane, Romford, Essex, RM7 0EE or give us a call on 01708 749031.

It's something most here will have. A ton of scrap batteries.
But for the very rare and odd one, you might have given the approximate
range for a single battery. Unless, of course your only interest is
spamming the group.

Depends what the scrappy pays, look up scrap car battery prices. Somewhere vaguely in the £5 each upward region.

40p/kilo in August down south, so about 3 quid per battery (assuming
normal car battery)

[tabb...@gmail.com]

If your batteries are just 25Ah, then yes. Bigger is usual though.

Don't you think that he might have got rid of them in the past 4 years?
