It might boggle your mind to hear this, but your dead-as-a-doornail car battery might be worth something! While batteries are great when they\u2019re in working order, it&#8217;s a completely different story when you need to get rid of one. Batteries aren\u2019t something you can just chuck in your wheelie bin, as most waste companies won\u2019t take them. The good news is, we do! Bring your lead acid battery to Endless, and not only will you be acting responsibly, but you\u2019ll be paid for it too. Cha-ching!<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re wondering what\u00a0scrap battery price\u00a0you could get, bring your lead acid battery to Endless to find out! Learn how the process works below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What batteries can I scrap?<\/h2>\n<p>As long as your scrap batteries are of the lead acid variety (all batteries from petrol and diesel vehicles are), you\u2019re in the money with us.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that when lead acid batteries are exported, the bits that get recycled are the lead and the acid. If you\u2019re not quite sure where you might find a lead acid battery, we\u2019ve put together a handy list for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cars (petrol\/diesel)<\/li>\n<li>Utes<\/li>\n<li>Trucks<\/li>\n<li>Tractors<\/li>\n<li>Forklifts<\/li>\n<li>Some heavy machinery<\/li>\n<li>Scooters<\/li>\n<li>Motorbikes<\/li>\n<li>Mobility scooters<\/li>\n<li>Golf carts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, you might be wondering why we can\u2019t take other batteries that aren\u2019t lead acid, like the ones you have in your laptop, in other electronic goods, or in your hybrid\/electric vehicle. These batteries are often nickel-cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), and lithium-ion, which are highly flammable. Please dispose of these safely via your local e-waste recycler, as processing them at a scrapyard is highly risky.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to typical non-rechargeable batteries you buy at the supermarket and use in things like torches and remote controls (regular alkaline, manganese, and carbon-zinc batteries), you can dispose of them at your nearest hazardous waste collection site.<\/p>\n<p>Want to check what your lead acid battery could be worth?

The bigger, the better, but even the little guys are worth looking into. Batteries vary in weight, so whether it\u2019s 1kg or 60kg (or more!), you can determine how much cash you\u2019ll get for it based on its weight in kg.<\/p>\n<p>Our friendly team would love to hear from you, so feel free to send us an enquiry to find out what your battery is worth in today\u2019s market.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]        <div id=\"gd_buttons-6a76cb0979cee\" class=\"\">\r\n                    <div class=\"gd_button_container\"><a class=\"gd_button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.endless.co.nz\/contact\/#contact_form\" target=\"_self\">\r\n                                    <span class=\"gd_button_text\">Send Enquiry<\/span>\r\n                                    <\/a><\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to upgrade your scrap batteries &amp; make more money<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While many people wonder about this, unfortunately, there\u2019s nothing you can do to upgrade your battery. We take them as they are, so the only way you can make more money from them is to bring in more or heavier batteries.<\/p>\n<p>It may be tempting to give your battery a little clean-up, thinking this might make you more dosh, but removing or draining the acid won\u2019t increase the value. It\u2019s incredibly dangerous to drain batteries as the acid is highly poisonous; this could also decrease the battery&#8217;s value as scrap. Simply bring them in as they are, have them weighed, and get paid!<\/p>\n<p>For your safety and ours, we just ask that you ensure there are no leaks before bringing the battery in. If you get acid on yourself from a leak, wash the affected area immediately and call the National Poisons Centre.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2>Get in touch with Endless for more info!<\/h2>\n<p>Here at Endless, we\u2019re always down for a chat!
