Hi Wally. They are probably the Lineage batts long ago sold by Northwest Energy Storage, who now is the HUP distributor.

These can be disposed of like any other LA battery. In CA, most transfer stations take & recycle any sized LA battery for a nominal core fee.

I have enclosed an old NWES ad with a photo (which will make it to you, but probably not the whole list).
