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

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

Has any one else seen this?<br>
