[SOLVED] scrap car batteries - how much do scrappies pay?

[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]"

Last time I put one in there I was splashed by the rain water at the bottom.

I wasn't able to check it was rainwater, but since my fingers didn't start to hurt it must have been.

[Andy Champ]

And they shut down Didcot because it was producing too much sulphur?

Andy

[John Williamson]

No, they shut down Didcot because of Green Politics.

or you can leave it by your front gate with a sign saying "please take me". Saves a trip to the dump.

Leave it with a sign saying "£10, works fine, please knock" and it'll go in seconds flat...

I live in a private cul-de-sac, so probably not. Leaving it by the kerb up on the public street might be construed as fly-tipping.

Yes, mate. Couldn't agree more. At least, I don't _think_ I could.

[Brian Gaff]

I was just thinking the same. Is it arrange these words into a real sentence and win a battery? Brian

[damduck-egg]

To win a decent prize you'd to have to play more than once and place an accumulator bet.

Ouch. I'm currently experiencing some revoltage in the humour cells.

[Andrew]

rates and collect,

Do you guarantee to pay the price that pertained in March 2013 ??

[Dave Plowman (News)]

[Andy Burns]

Since the question has been raised from the dead, and I have a dozen UPS and stairlift batteries cluttering a corner of the garage, does anyone know a recent price (not by the tonne)?

[tabbypurr]

Google scrap metal prices. Was quoted 30p/kg the other day, but that might not be typical.

NT

[Andy Burns]

But that doesn't tell me the "fudge factor" from the price of lead/kg to the price for a battery/kg. If it's that low they can skulk in the garage a bit longer ...
