Battery Prices

That is low but I'd say probably average around here, prices are low on batt. I know of a yard that pays the exact same.

Well i have not sold batteries for a flat price since i cannot remember any yard that pays you by the piece is taken advantage of you,Right now batteries are bringing betweem 31-36 cents a pound.I some times sell by batteries to interstate batterie they have lots of locations all across the USA .the thing about batteries is they have to replace the lead from there new load,so battery dealers are always looking for lead batteries,hope that helped some of the new guys.

I just dropped off a shztload of batteries today in Calgary. Got 25 cents per lb.

I agree with the others that a "per battery" price is a ripoff. It doesn't fit too well when you are offloading a big Cat battery along with a motorbike battery and the guy is going to give you the same price for each of them.

Hey Jon, welcome to the forum. Just throwing it out there, but if you're planning on hauling any more batts to Calgary, or pretty much anything else scrap related, feel free to PM me and I might be able to help you get a better price. Batteries should have gotten you around $0.30 currently. I'm just curious who you hauled to, if you don't mind my asking? Thanks, and again, welcome.
