    Hey guys is there a way to more cash out of a battery instead of just taking it in whole, i know i can put water in it but are there any other ways?

    No. At this point, you don't want to be tearing them apart. At least here, if you sell even one battery to the public, you become a retailer and subject to a whole new set of regulations.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Some buyers will pay you more for them if you have a lot of weight. Save them up if you can and then try and negotiate a price. A battery store where im located pays more then scrapyards, but you have to have over a ton.
