The scrapyards know this trick. While it might make you a few cents, every time you go in they will check check and double check your metals.
I did dump some batterys off once and they picked one up and gave me a second look and double checked all the batterys to see if I had added water to them,
Then they mentioned the 'filling up with water cheat'.
I said at that point."****, forgot, I wanted to keep all the sulphuric acid for electroplating and forgot to pour it out as I was in a rush".
Aftr checking the batterys he was OK with them as they had not been topped up.

Later on I clicked that one was a 'Marine battery', them and 4WD batterys are made more solid to take the punishment of all the crashing around. Heavier plates.
But they don't last anywhere near as long as normal car batterys do.
