My battery supplier will pay $0.10/lb wet weight. If I figure
correctly that's about $12.00 per L-16.

About a year or two ago there was a world shortage of lead and
scrap prices for lead wet up and up, but these days I have not heard
any more about this. We are getting ready to clean out all the old
L-16's we have taken back during system up-grades that have been
piling up, but the local battery supplier we use only offers to
unload them off our truck for free.
I am sure I may be able to track down a scrap yeard but all are in
distant cities and not sure if its worth the extra drive with a
trailer.
What is the going rate these days for scrap lead if taken to a scrap
yard?
Since most scrap yards pay by weight, do they want them drained of
acid and only pay the dry weight, or do they pay a fixed price per
battery?
Any other options?
