 |

hey people just a bit of advice, most may already know but just incase.
I break motorcycles / trade for a living and have never done much with the batteries i have left over but keep them. But when i decided to change unit i didn't want to take all the batteries with me and the 'tip' wouldn't take them as its obvious I'm a business.
Then i found out there actually worth something! intact quite a lot i sold 23 used batteries some scrap some may still work for £200 car batteries are supposedly worth more
I sold them to a local guy who does car salvage/repair who said theres still some money to be made from them.! so in future look into selling rather than just throwing them away  |

oh yeah the scrap lads love the batteries think they are full of lead.
The fella that came to service our fire alarm at work said he makes a nice little wedge every couple of weeks through batteries. The alarms take 2 motorbike size batteries, he changed 3 or 4 alarms a week so thats 6 or 8 a week.
Nice work if you can get it  |

yeah youll be suprised what shit the scrapyard will take off you,
even bricks if you hide them in stuff i took a few car batteries and a fooked alternator and made off with a few beer tokens.
being a sparky i always had scrap copper or anything else left lying about on site destined for the bin.
ive walked out many times with a cheeky grin after a bit of cash for scrap, its a case of one mans rubbish is another mans treasure |

Copper pipes fill of sand and folded off at the ends in a bag were a favorite of ours for the scrappy
