how much does an average battery weigh ? it seems like i would loose selling them by the pound . i get 12 dollars for any auto mobile battery and 20 to 40 for the semi truck/large machinery batteries.it seems like id loose selling by the pound.especially on the small auto batteries.ive been meaning to weigh a few batteries since ive joined this site and saw folks were selling them by the pound.id actually never heard of selling them by the pound till i found this forum.i know the battery remanufacturing place i deal with sells there unfixable ones by the weight.but i figured id need a semi load to sell them that way..its funny how stuff is different depending on what region you live in..now that i think about it the farthest ive ever sold scrap from my house is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away so for all i know columbus may buy them by the pound
