But that doesn't tell me the "fudge factor" from the price of lead/kg to
the price for a battery/kg. If it's that low they can skulk in the
garage a bit longer ...

I remember getting 10 quid for a couple of them (70 amp.hr) a few years
ago.

Why not phone up a local dealer and ask? But if they're not in the way,
keep them. One thing is certain - the present low prices for most raw
materials won't last.

Our local scrappie pays a bit less than 50p per kg for old batteries.

Actually it might. The great commodities supercycle that started in 2002
had a hiccup in 2008 but the Chinese pumped $zillions into the world
economy, which simply reinflated asset prices. It hit a peak in late
2011 (witness BlackRock Gold & general fund price since then). Look at
the historical share prices of Rio Tinto and Broken Hill Propriety to
see what was 'normal' prior to 2002.

Now we all know what the Chinese have been doing since 2009 - in just 5
years they have built up the level of debt (and much of it in their
shadow banking system) that the USA took 100 years to acquire.

Oil might go back to about $50 and then bumble along at this level for
quite while, but the dollar is the problem, and it's US presidential
year (Weak Dollar = Strong Commodities; Strong Dollar = Weak
Commodities, this is why even with cheap oil, we still pay £1 per litre).

Base metals and thermal coal are dependent on Chinese demand, but they
have built ghost cities and tower blocks of residential flats everywhere
and no-one wants to buy them. Then when the writing was on the wall for
their contrived building boom (end 2013) they allowed Chinese citizens
to open share trading accounts and speculate on equities using borrowed
money !! (Blimey, didn't they look at the history of share price
volatility in Hong kong ?). That bubble popped in June 2015. One can
only guess what the Chinese government will try next (40% devaluation ??)

I've got 3xdead car batteries how much could I expect to get from them and where would I need to go to?

Around 50p/kilo I think (if I remember right I got 46p/kilo for the
last ones I took there).

don't think you would get anything just for scrap. only as part ex value.

My local council recycling centre has a huge pile of them .... so people
just dropping them off - not being paid anything.

Google scrap metal prices, but somewhere around the above, in some places a bit less. Normally worth taking 3 car batts in, and any other lead odds.

I know they vary, but is a typical battery around 5 Kgs? If so, 3 are
worth £7. Not worth driving far for.

Of course, they might weigh more than that, and I might be stronger than
I think I am.

5kg? I don't think so.

About 45p per kg when I last took some.

Last time I tried (which is long time ago), they didn't want them -
too much paperwork. They would take them for nothing, but you only
got paid for much bigger batteries than cars use.

This is when I found out the government had introduced a scheme to
ensure they all got recycled, but it requires a form filling out and
handing on for every battery being returned. Prior to that, the return
rate through unofficial channels was very high anyway, but then it
plummeted because the overheads exceeded the value, and the unofficial
channels were no longer allowed to carry them without all the paperwork.

Pretty standard when the Government pokes its nose in, then.

It is most sad when recycling an item requires more paperwork than
selling new.

It's something most here will have. A ton of scrap batteries.
But for the very rare and odd one, you might have given the approximate
range for a single battery. Unless, of course your only interest is
spamming the group.

Depends what the scrappy pays, look up scrap car battery prices. Somewhere vaguely in the £5 each upward region.

40p/kilo in August down south, so about 3 quid per battery (assuming
normal car battery)

If your batteries are just 25Ah, then yes. Bigger is usual though.
