I have 6 6volts batteries that are shot. They came out of my GE E-12.........what is my best option? I have already stored them for over 6 months and really would like the space back. I had been keeping them to use when I put 6 6volts back in.....currently I have 3 12v in the ge and probably will be a long time till I ever put the 6volts back in it.

Do I keep storing them or do I scrap them?? If scrap?? who would probably pay me more for them?? How much can I expect to be paid??

Just trying to decide which way to go and figured some one here knows the best choice.

thanks,

Scott

Whatever price you get should equal the trade-in value . Around here the scrap yards are paying 25 cents/pd at this time . But batts should not be stored long term as junk .

If you don't need them for a core i would check the local scrap yards. Around here a full size goes for $10-15 each not sure what it was last time i took them in.

Don't scrap them yet, wait until you buy a few more tractors. Then you'll have them for spare cores. Its always my luck to buy a tractor without a battery, so the store has to charge me for a core.

Core around here is $9. Last year I took in 35 batteries at one time and the scrap yard was paying $15 each. Made for an easy decision.
