Might as well use this thread
OK first a system has to be developed as to getting at the plates efficiently
NEXT
one 24 pound batteries @ a local value by me = $5.75
first batch of lead ( clean) is 4 pounds = $ 1.60 value at yard
Next i have a charred up rock with lead from the first melting
I see the lead there BUT
I have to pound that out to a fine mix then re melt
I might be able to pull out another 3 to 4 pounds
But I see even if I pull 8 pounds total thats only a local scrap yard price of $3.20
yet e bay might go $10 to $12
-----------
My feeling is the mouton lead that pours is lead &
as lead becomes molten it burns off impurities .
-----------
For me as I feel lead will increase in value,
I feel it's work that will pay off
BUT is not a necessity to melt all your Batteries to get lead
but a few here and there might build a nice lead stash
wile you cash in on some of the Batteries as is
I started this post on 07-11-2013, & today is the 21 of July
