Scrap Car Batteries

From the perspective of a scrap car buyer, the auto scrap and recycling industry is as strong as ever and new developments continue. In CA, the plug-in vehicle from manufacturers such as Tesla uses an auto battery that has been determined useful in delivering energy once they are retired from use in these cars. Tahmina Achekzai, with the Daily Californian, outlines this story in a September 24, 2014 article as follows: “With California making up about 40% of the nation’s plug-in electric vehicle sales, the state is soon to experience a surge of used car batteries — that have lost too much power to be of use to the vehicle but still retain enough to power households & businesses. The battery packs can be repurposed and given a “second-life” outside the car. By backing up solar panels, for example, they can help homes and workplaces become energy self-sufficient. The batteries that are on the road today, driving around between four tires, would conservatively buy enough energy storage to meet one-third of our energy storage requirements according to a UCLA and UC Berkeley climate change program. The batteries, while the heart of the concept, are not the only component. Implementation requires facilities to host the batteries, software to “talk” to electrical grids and equipment to interconnect the system.” The complete report is available by visiting http://www.dailycal.org/2014/09/24/used-car-batteries-help-meet-state-energy-goals-says-joint-uc-berkeley-ucla-report/

Auto Battery Misunderstanding

Johnson Controls, Inc. posted a report on Apr 17, 2014 with the following results: “Seven out of 10 Americans don’t know their options for recycling used car batteries. With more than 2 million conventional batteries going un-recycled every year in the US, JC is aiming to raise awareness about how to easily and safely recycle car batteries. To assist consumers, the company has created www.recyclingmybattery.com, where people enter their zip codes to find nearby battery recycling locations. About 97 percent of car batteries are recycled each year in the U.S.” Here at Cash 4 Cars Cleveland, the idea of someone simply placing an auto battery out with the trash is either a result of laziness or pure stupidity!
