Scrap Batteries Melbourne — Cash for Lead-Acid, Industrial & Battery Banks
Lead-acid batteries are one of the most recyclable products in existence — the lead content is valuable, and the recycling process is well-established. Whether you've got a single dead car battery or a pallet of industrial batteries, we'll pay you cash for them and ensure they're recycled properly.
We buy all types of lead-acid batteries — standard automotive batteries, AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries, gel batteries, deep-cycle batteries, and large industrial battery banks from UPS systems, forklifts, and solar installations. The price is based on the weight and lead content, and larger loads fetch better rates.
Mechanics, auto wreckers, and battery retailers often accumulate dead batteries quickly. We can arrange regular collection from your premises — call us to set up a schedule. It's a simple way to turn a waste product into cash while staying compliant with EPA battery disposal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a scrap battery worth?
It depends on the size and lead content. A standard car battery is worth a few dollars; a large industrial battery bank can be worth significantly more. Call us for a quote on your specific batteries.
Do you buy batteries that are cracked or leaking?
We prefer intact batteries, but we can discuss cracked batteries on a case-by-case basis. Leaking batteries need to be handled carefully — call us before bringing them in.
Is it legal to just throw old batteries in the bin?
No — lead-acid batteries are classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of through a licensed recycler. We handle this compliantly so you don't have to worry about it.
Can you collect batteries from my workshop?
Yes — for regular loads from mechanics, auto wreckers, or battery retailers, we can arrange collection. Call 0449 060 697 to set up a schedule.
