What is Lead Batteries?
Lead-acid batteries from cars, vans, trucks, and leisure vehicles contain lead plates, sulphuric acid, and a plastic casing. Yards buy them for the lead content. A standard car battery weighs 10-15kg.
Tips for best price
- Keep upright during transport. They contain acid.
- Some yards price per battery rather than per kg.
- Don't break batteries open. The acid is corrosive and the lead dust is toxic.
- Collect from garages doing battery replacements for volume.
