Types Of Batteries For Scrap Metal

Posted: December 2, 2024

Hey Scrappers!

So lets talk some batteries I’ll start with the ones we DO BUY.

Types Of Scrap Batteries

Lead acid is the most common type it will usually have a “Pb” on the battery label. These are from cars, boats, battery back ups, and motorcycles.
Lithium Ion is also a very common battery used in cell phones, small devices, and various different types of power tools. These batteries will be marked on the back with Li-Ion.
Absolyte batteries are very common but not many people have access to them. They are usually found in big battery back up units designed for large data centers.
