SNY SD UP Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Do you give/sell them to other TT owners that you may know that can use that type of battery technology? Give/Sell them "as-is" on the public domain or bring them to a disposal center? Just wondering.

Steph and Dud B Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'd probably just dispose of them, unless they were brand-new. In that case, I'd probably try to sell them. 1 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4.

Guest Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 We recycle ours, if they are worn out or if nobody wants them. In many state you are required to recycle lead batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2022 Depends on the age and condition of the batteries - If they still have good life in them I'd try to sell them but they still probably will not fetch much in the market because the buyer doesn't know how good them really are. If they are near he end of their life then I would take them to anywhere that sells automotive batteries like Mike said above. Another Ollie owner took his dead batteries to NAPA within the past month and they gave him $5.00 each for them.

John E Davies Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Most commercial recycling companies will accept lead acid batteries, for example (price per pound): It’s up to you to decide if you are willing to drive to one for maybe $35+ cash back, depending on how heavy they are. There is a company that is pretty close to me, but I just let my local Batteries Plus Bulbs store take my four dead AGMs at no cost. I am amused by places that charge you to recycle them, because they make money twice that way. It seems to be a little unethical. FYI, gun ranges have lead removal companies come to harvest the bullets from the berm or traps, and those companies pay the range about $70% of their scrap value. It is a big money maker on both sides.

Mainiac Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Same batteries used in golf carts. In Maine you get a $10 trade in credit for each battery... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
