I'm about to take 24 L16 FLA batteries off an island. Any idea how much Interstate pays? I'm giving the owner the salvage money, charging for our labor and transport costs.  He would like to know what to expect.

Interstate Battery takes mine. They should have a store somewhere near you.

Jay,
I couldn't find anyone in the Reno area either so I went searching. Try Batteryrecyclersofamerica.com 866.827.1830  I spoke to them last week and they will schedule a truck to pick them up after I have them on a pallet ready for shipment.  Still waiting to find out what I need to do but I think it's just wrapping them in plastic, making sure not to include too much weight and possibly adding some decals. If they don't come thru I guess plan B might be to flush them, get the lead out, and make more bullets for my 45 long colt (ought to be several thousand rounds).

HI All

I just got back from my local recycler.  He won’t take the GNB AGM batteries.
He said his ultimate buyer in california won’t buy them.

Has any one else seen this?

thanks

jay
