JTK Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 OK, So lets say I have around 60 100ah deltec batteries I want to recycle but get the best return on.... Where can I do that in Centurion area? And what kind of return can I expect? It could fund some solar kit after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBass9 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Phone around the scrap merchants, they give you better prices as they pay per kg, rather than the battery places which give you a fixed price per battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is linked to the going lead price. I once got paid R9.25 per kg - so 60 batts at about 30kg each = +-1800kg at say +-R9 per keg = +-R16 650 1.8 tons of batteries - not bad. So phone a coupled of places to get the best price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Once handed in batteries to www.battery.co.za here in Cpt, about a R1000 worth ... still waiting to be paid. They ain't seeing me again! Now I use scrap metal dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLEVA Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) In KZN we have a local Scrap Dealer who will collect (saves the cost of transport & labour), but it is at R6/kg - Still, managed to get some weekend party money for 140kg worth of even melted batteries and a few 7Ah from fences and gate motors. Taking them to a scrap dealer might get you R7.50 at the moment. Anything better will be for drained & cleaned lead, where they don't have to worry about the removal of the Sulphuric Acid and maybe even no casings. Deltec 100Ah are about 20kg each (up to about 25), so even at R6/kg... 60batts x 20kg x R6 = R7200. Don't accept anything less!
