Types Of Batteries We Recycle
Not all batteries are created equal. Different batteries have different values depending on the metals they use and recoverability of those materials. The below list contains some of the most common battery types we buy from our customers in Sydney:
Lead Acid Batteries (Car & Truck Batteries)
These are the most commonly recycled battery in the world. Traditional starter batteries for cars and trucks are made up of lead plates and lead oxide paste submerged within a bath of sulphuric acid. All of these materials can be recycled when the battery reaches end-of-life, and recovered lead-acid batteries have a worldwide recycling rate of over 95%. Are you an automotive mechanic or an electrician who replaces car batteries? Sell your scrap batteries to us instead of letting them take up space in your garage.
Deep Cycle Batteries
Solar battery banks, caravan batteries, marine batteries, golf cart batteries, electric forklift batteries and mobility scooter batteries are all common examples of deep cycle batteries. Deep cycle batteries differ from traditional starting batteries in their ability to regularly be drained down to near-empty levels without damaging the battery. These batteries usually contain large quantities of lead and are very recyclable.
UPS Batteries (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
The backup power systems found in office blocks, data centres, medical centres and telecommunications facilities often use sealed lead-acid batteries or gel batteries. When these systems reach end-of-life, they’re periodically replaced with brand new battery banks. If your business works with UPS systems, you’ll find you’ll end up with old batteries from time to time. Bring them to Urban Recycling.
Industrial Batteries & Forklift Batteries
Industrial batteries are typically much larger than the batteries you find in cars and are used to power warehouse equipment like forklifts and pallet jacks. Recycling just one industrial fork lift battery could earn you over $100 depending on the make and model. Urban Recycling accepts industrial batteries for recycling.
AGM Batteries and Gel Batteries
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries and Gel batteries are specialised varieties of lead acid batteries that use different methods of containing the sulphuric acid. You’ll find them commonly used in motorcycles, security systems, emergency lights, cars and bikes. Despite their differences in appearance from a traditional flooded lead-acid battery, they can be recycled in the same way and we buy them.
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Power tool batteries, laptop batteries, electric vehicle batteries, grid storage batteries. Lithium-ion technology is found in more and more batteries every year, many of which end up in the scrap stream once their usefulness has ended. Because they use lithium to store energy, they require specialised handling and processing. We accept lithium-ion batteries, and have the right relationships in place with recycling partners to deal with them responsibly.
NiCad Batteries (Nickel-Cadmium)
NiCad batteries are older technology now being replaced by more efficient battery types, but you’ll still find them in use everywhere from power tools to emergency backup lighting. NiCad batteries contain both nickel and cadmium, a heavy metal which is harmful to the environment. Let us take these batteries off your hands and make sure they never enter landfill.
Dry Cell Batteries / Household Batteries
Consumables like AA, AAA, C, D, 9v and other household batteries have a relatively low value when it comes to recycling scrap. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t recycle them! Businesses generate vast quantities of dry cell batteries every year, and even municipal councils will sometimes sell their battery waste to scrap yards. Get in touch if you have a large quantity of household batteries you’d like to sell.
