This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries batery.repair and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!

That Canada post scale is SO COOL! Definitely keep the crate and everything for it.

Your videos are great, (your a natural at presenting information) especially for younger people starting out in scrap collection. Good on yer. They should be included in the national curriculum! ha...

I have learned so much, in the last 13 mins.

Sweet vid man !!

Thanks Thub. I always wondered about house hold batteries.

Bro I've got two pallets full that I've found out at my local dump just in the last 6 months, thanks for this video.👍

Good tips on lead acid batteries. Also good advice on alkaline batteries. I was recently told to bring my AA Durocell/Energizer batteries to the fire station and I was doubtful of that device. I've always thrown them in the garbage and now I know it should be fine. They can cause a mess once they start leaking or even can start a fire if all together in a bin or something.

Thank you for the info my boy I appreciate it greatly btw how's it going in your new place?

I found a really big heavy car battery yesterday , I was stoked can’t wait to save up more

I'm from iowa in the state's keep doin the thing

Hello Thub, I came across your channel about a month or so ago and have been enjoying consuming video after video. Thank you for all your great and helpful content. I recently finally collected a decent bag of cans here in St. Louis, MO, USA, and was pleasantly surprised to get $16 and a little change for them. Your channel gives me hope that I could make a decent amount on the side scrapping. I really enjoyed this video and also look forward to more inthus series. I did want to add a couple of options for recycling other [than lead] batteries. Around here we have Best Buys and Batteries Plus retail stores which will recycle any batteries, for free drop off. They don't buy them but do keeping them out of landfills. Also one could purchase a rather expensive Terra Cycle box to recycle batteries for those hard core about keeping them out of landfills. Thanks again. I look forward to your next video! Oh and great send off line. I'll keep leaving it better than I found it. ~Blessings

1 place I found lead was in the keys of an electric piano, a block about the size of a dice/key...

I could learn anything from this dude

Good to hear. I have about a ton of SLA batteries. Glad I hate throwing things away

Thanks Great Videos

Keep doing the thing

Thanks for FA

It’s like finding a heavy $10 bill. Free easy cash!

This video is like the world's slowest merry go round

Wow very nice ideas to scrap battery.I like your video you are awesome

Thanks 🙏

howdy head panda!! great video!!! I must say that Canadian postal scale in his original box was really amazing!! I’m a big antique Collector and that’s he is just a great part of Canadian/Postal history! my Mailbox is a 1942 American Bridgeport castings mailbox!!

Another thing about scrapping boats are the "sacrificial anodes". In freshwater boats it's usually magnesium, brackish are zinc and saltwater anodes are usually aluminum. All of these will work in any type of water, but some erode faster than others

Lead is still used in roofs, mainly around the chimney, at least in the US

Brother I enjoy your way of talking 😃

Great explanation of what goes on inside. You are a natural born teacher, Thub! Love the vid.

U r really good at this KZfaq thing

Make it so number one

Hello up there, my question: do you or do you know anything about Industrial mercury ? (thermostats, etc) thanks in advance

I live in WA state and I get GOOD money for laptop and iPad and phones battery

The last job I was at was I pulled around 2000lbs of floor scrubber batteries. These batterys were between 60 and 80 lbs each and each machine carried 6 batteries. I need to hit up the scrap yard soon!!

Good place to find lead acid batteries is to go your local fire alarm service company. Fire alarm systems and emergency lighting all have battery backups and are replaced frequently. Most companies enjoy the free pickup and give them to you, but you might have some companies request money in return because they know the scrap value. Just make sure you are turning a profit.

thnx

18¢ a pound for LA battries in my neck of the woods. They are a quick $7 bill. I find them at apartment complex trash receptacles, 2-3 a month.

Can you pls. tell me how can i measure the lead percentage in every battery before buying scrap battery to help to evaluate the Feasibility ? i know It varies from battery to battery but i need it generally

Is there a way to clean battery acid or strain out the impurities what material would you use

You can charge it super fast with a welder and bring it back to life. There are videos on that. Love your videos btw! And I’d like to see your body art lol (I tattoo myself) like the double orbit ad well! Have a great day!

In the original 70.s superman when superman peels the s from his chest and throws it at the 3 people and it sucks them up, this is the 4th guy lol look at them and then him. The outfit and the hair. It's the lost brother. Lolol. It's hilarious it's so spot on

what would be a good price for car battery 30 lbs

Don’t be shy to be a teacher. Yea, some of this shut is complicated. But you got me into scrapping man. And I thank you

Lead Apron jackets used for Medical purpose -how to extract lead metal from lead apron jacket?? Pls guide

Lithium Farrah Fawcett batteries. They da bomb !!

I've quit my job and now I'm collecting car, truck, buses, aeroplanes, machines etc batteries.

Okay so oddly enough one of the more common things I personally come across are power tools of all sorts that either plain don't work anymore or the batteries and/or chargers are no longer working....idk lol. Anyway....I was actually hoping; when I saw the subject of this particular video; that u would mention these types of batteries and what I should do with them. But sence u did not and I am now commenting I figured I'd ask if u could please do a video about wether or not broken power tools are something worth scrapping and if so how I should go about this? On a side note: when I began scrapping seriously as my side source of income about 2 years ago now, your first scrapping for beginners video was the first one I ever watched and I've been a big fan ever sence! Ur vids are definitely top tier in my opinion compared to others out here in KZfaqsville....lol Anyway I really appreciate how fast, efficient and to-the-point you are in every vid. That along with the fact that it's totally obvious you know what u are doing with all this is so refreshing and that's sadly a rare thing nowadays. Anyway sorry to fangirl out but I'm a believer in giving credit where it's deserved so yeah....please let me know if u can do that vid if u haven't done one about that already...and if u have I'd love to know where I could find it. Thank you for your time! Oh yeah also....my nickname has been Panda sence I was 2 or 3 yrs old and it's my favorite animal next to dogs so....love the follower name you have ESPECIALLY! lol....so thank you for that as well. ☺️😁😬💯💯💯🤓😁🤣 - signed a loyal 🐼 Amanda Sullivan Pine city, MN. 🇺🇸

I just subscribed, and took in 200kg of led batteries

Lithium Ion batteries, such as those from laptops and portable hoovers, containing 18056 lithium batteries are favoured by hobbyists that build cells for electric vehicles, 'power walls' etc. Each laptop battery contains between 4 and 6 of these cells typically. Cheers Thub!

The very old lead from stain glass and roofing leaf …often has a fair bit of silver in it.

Forget the batteries, I want that old scale !!

29 cent per kg here in Australia $1.19kg for lead. Melt them into lead bar and $10 a lead. And you cannot buy sulfuric acid here in Australia. U can filter and boil it to get string acid.

Down in the states, you can usually get around the same rate for Lithium ion batteries as you can for lead acid. Check with your buyer!

Can you scrap power tool batteries

if you end up with a meaningful amount of old car / truck batteries then its worth the investment in a cold crank tester. then you can test the batteries for 12v+ , charge the good ones for a few hours then test the cold cranking amps. this will give you a much better idea of the battery condition. As a diesel engineer i have seen many batteries that hold 12v charges but are still useless. most batteries will have the cold crank amps marked on them as CCA (amps) , you want to be at least 80% of that amount.

Actually, check to see if local recycling or ewaste places will take your non rechargable alkaline batteries. There is a place by me that recycles them.

Good video and thank you for emphasizing the dangers of dismantling lead/acid batteries. Hopefully you'll have saved someone harm, or at least their clothing 😆 One consideration, at least in some US states is that Pb batteries can be considered "controlled" items with limits placed on how many batteries yards can buy from peddlers on each visit. In Florida the limit is 2.

Batteries are my favorite, though I do not come across many where I am here in the USA. Do you scrap flat screens and sell the parts? I find good money in picking up flat screens with busted screen. I test them and if the tv powers up and is good I sell the boards, buttons, remotes, and cables. Even if the TV is busted I turn in the metal and boards for scrap. Bonus, the plastic (Plexglass?) backer is fun to shoot at with a pellet gun. Only down side is the plastic left overs.

I like this guy He's Kool mon 😎👍

If the voltage is above 12v to 13v it doesn't mean the battery is always good. It may not have any amps to turn over the engine. best way to check is to charge it full then put it in a car with the multimeter set to read 12v. While reading the multimeter try to start the car if the voltage drops past 9v the battery is toast and wont hold up much longer. Most people find out the hard way when they cant start the car once it gets cold out. That battery that reads 12.2v seems like it has a dead cell.

What would you do if the best price close to you is only 12 cents a pound for lead acid batteries?

Here in the states, there are places that will pay between $4 & $5 per pound, for Lithium-Ion batteries.

What about tire weights for balanceing ?

End of life recycling fee? Sounds like a perfectly sensible policy that's not in the US to me. I've been thinking about moving to Canada for awhile, what do you think should I do it Thub?

Hello there not sure if you seen it but you can buy a car battery tester that just clamps on the battery and it will tell you all the info you will need and has a traffic light red orange and green indicator makes it easier if you regularly test battery

I made some dumb bells will some 2 fruit cans it was 68 lbs

Copper coated bullets (projectile) over lead. How would I scrape them. A vacuum sweeper scraping

Could cut the lead posts off also for extra in the end

Pro tip, keep all of your small batteries. Walmart and other places will take those small batteries as a core if you wanted to buy a car battery. Then you can keep your big batteries to scrap

I am an alarm service engineer and I change battery's every single day, Save about a months worth

I scrapped an entire room full of lead sheets lining an x-ray room, tons of lead!!

Other then being poisonous, lead is great! Great element!

Looking for Georgia 😉👋

They make lead backed drywall for xray rooms

Use sodium bicarbonate or baking soda to neutralize sulfuric acid or battery acid if you get it on your clothes before washing

Now there are collection points in retail services for the 1.5 volt batteries. To prevent fires in the compactor garbage truck.

Blessed is he who profits from the fruit of the alley garbage pile.

You should open them and taking lead out it sells better here i open all the time to make solder wire after melting it in ingot

Lead acid batteries have always been my side gig I been making money off them since I was 15 years old

I legit had 19 car batteries! And I didn't get $10 to $15 for mine. Even though this was 2 years ago. I'm only getting 15 cent per pound on my car batteries

chill soul

Dead Batteries in spain are worth the same - €10-€15 per unit

£500 a ton here in uk lead acid bats

Yay hi thub, panda here! J crewe pandas

Try recycling a dead battery at an auto parts store because they will give you store credit if you find one

The last battery's I took in to local yard here last year I had 5kg short of half a ton which got me 249£

Dont forget to top off all the batteries with water before you bring them in. Even the sealed ones. There is usually a plate that pops off and plugs on each of the chambers that can be pulled off and put back on after adding a few pounds of water. It might not be worth it if you're bringing 1 battery, but when you have a stack amd you can add 20 lbs of water to the dry cells...

Love the video!!! Glad to see it :) great call on not breaking open the battery hahahahaha

Don't forget power wheels batteries as well

Where do you find a scrap yard that pays much for a Battery ????

They also come out of alarm systems

You’re fun to watch, but it would be nice if somebody actually explain the science between the lead panels and how to turn lead oxide back in the lead.

Board Sort pays 40 cents a pound for lead. Yesterday, I brought UPS batteries in with my escrap and got 15 cents a pound. I have pulled apart a car battery once and there were not lead plates. There were like pouches in the shape of a plate filled with lead pellets. Very not making any sense. Lucky for me, my escrap yard also takes lithium ion batteries for the same price, so I throw in those that I randomly find and hey, another 5 cents. Ok. Alkalines? I throw em into my steel bin.

That anode, red lead was sold 30$ / pound, 7 years a go. So you might check your pricing and buyers accountability again...:D

If I take a car battery to scrap yard I get about 2 bucks however some parts stores give in store credit for battery cores for 10 bucks.thats what I do with my car battery but must be car batterys.anything smaller I'm better of to take apart and melt down

The batery is made out of batery ps love yo vid

HI, I am from India. I want to import metal scrap. How can I contact you ?

A.c. Delco used to pay 5.00 a piece and 7.00 if you had more than 50. And 7.50 if you had more than 100

👍🙂👍

One has to wonder, why do they give more for a whole battery than they do for the lead inside?
