At BattReStore we are dedicated to caring for the environment and believe that scrap batteries should be recycled and disposed off responsibly. Lead-acid batteries are highly recyclable, With a recycling rates of more than 90 per cent. However, that doesn't mean they can go into the waste bin at home. Toxic substances like lead can leak into the environment when car batteries and other lead-acid batteries end up in landfill.

According to the EPA, about 80% of the lead and plastic in a lead-acid battery is recycled for reuse. Lead-acid batteries are also closed-loop recycled, which means each part of a battery is recycled into a new battery.

Sulfuric acid
Sulfuric acid is converted to sodium sulfate to be used in the manufacture of glass, textiles, laundry detergents and fertilizers.

Lead
Battery plates, inter cell connectors and posts made from lead are melted down in a smelter furnace. The molten lead is then formed into ingots for re-use.

Polypropylene
Battery containers and lids are chipped and sent for recycling into rubbish bins, plant pots etc.

Batteries are potentially a valuable source of recyclable metal. All batteries in India must be taken to a Waste disposal facility, a universal waste handler, or an authorized Battery Dealer.

Q. Can I put my old battery in my home recycling bin?
A. No. Lead acid batteries must not be placed in home recycling or waste bins. The lead and acid may contaminate other recycled materials and render them un-useable. The entire load of materials will then be dumped to landfill.

Q. Can I re-use my old battery for anything?
A. No. Automotive batteries contain lead, acid and lead compounds, all of which are considered harmful to humans. Battery recycling minimizes the risk to you and your family from these toxins.

Q. What happens to my old battery?
A. The plastics, acid and lead compounds are all separated when the battery is destroyed, and re-processed into new products.

Q. Will my battery be reconditioned?
A. No. Battery Recycling Centre will never recondition your old battery. Reconditioning is the branding of an end-of-life battery for resale. Reconditioned batteries are extremely unreliable at best and dangerous at worst.
