Scrap Lead-Acid Batteries for Recycling – High Lead Recovery Yield

Maximize your raw material output with our sorted Scrap Lead-Acid Batteries. Sourced from automotive starter batteries, heavy commercial vehicles, industrial UPS backup systems, and forklift batteries, this scrap material offers high lead density suitable for secondary lead smelters and certified battery recycling plants.

All battery scrap is collected, stored, and transported under strict environmental and hazardous material compliance standards to guarantee a safe and legal supply chain.

Key Material Features & Industrial Yields

High Metallic Lead & Lead Paste Yield
Lead-acid batteries offer one of the highest recycling rates of any industrial commodity. Recoverable lead content typically accounts for 60% to 65% of total battery weight, providing excellent yields for secondary smelting operations.

Broad Scrap Classifications
Lots feature a balanced composition of automotive SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) batteries, heavy-duty commercial vehicle batteries, and sealed industrial AGM/Gel batteries.

Hazardous Material & ADR Transport Compliance
Batteries are packed in heavy-duty, leak-proof, acid-resistant UN-certified battery boxes or strapped onto sturdy wooden pallets. Units are drained or spill-proof to comply with international ADR transport safety codes.

Eco-Friendly Circular Economy
Recycling battery lead reduces energy consumption by up to 65% compared to primary lead mining while preventing hazardous materials from entering landfills.
