Hi all
After 10 years of living at my current house, I've managed to accumulate 11 or so car batteries from various projects. Most are 700-odd amp cranking batteries with a few 80-100A/H deep cycles. I think that calcification has ensured their final expiry after years on the garage floor. I'm pretty certain they're beyond redemption.
Question is how to get rid of them... are they worth anything to a metal merchant? They must be, as I remember putting 10 or so out on my front lawn a few years ago for an arranged council pickup, and they were stolen within hours - even with a sign on them saying "DEAD". I can't imagine theft if they weren't worth anything.
Alternatively, I'll just take them to the tip and let them make the cash I suppose.
Any advice here at all? TIA
