Car battery scrap value

The answer is usually no – most authorised treatment facilities will pay more for a car with a battery than one without. Scrap battery prices increase the overall value of the scrap car, and removing it could result in a deduction from the final scrap car price. However, suppose you think your scrap batteries worth is more selling them separately.

The worth of the battery is based on many factors — its lead content being the most important factor. If the lead value of the battery is high, you will get maximum price for your scrap car battery. You can sell it to a recycling company, which is perhaps the most profitable thing you can do with your scrap car battery.

As with any metal, the price of lead can fluctuate on a month-by-month basis. With that said, lead’s value is usually high – which means car batteries are far from worthless. At present, you can expect to earn around £5 for each car battery recycled.
