April 2, 20197 yr Seriously, R8 kg? Not even worth the petrol. Sure for 1.4 tons of lead, but I mean a typically AGM 100Ah battery is 20kg. That is R160 a battery Edited April 2, 20197 yr by Gnome
April 2, 20197 yr About a year ago I was getting about R13/Kg but lead price have dropped a lot. A month ago or so I got R9/Kg for thw same scrap batteries
April 15, 20197 yr Author Went to scrap dealer and got almost R 2,000.00 for the old batteries. At least I have some space again in my garage.
