I've had to replace the Rover battery. It's an 069 70 amp hour and weighs
approx 28kg.

Living where I do, I'll have to travel some distance to find a scrap yard.
So can anyone give a rough idea of what the old is worth as scrap? I've
seen about 60p a kg quoted for scrap lead, but not sure how that
translates to batteries.


I've no idea about thr value, but when you factor in fuel for making a
trip and your time, it may be worth just hanging onto it until you are
next going to your council recycling centre and just giving it to them.
That's what I did with the last two (admittedly smaller) batteries.
