Q .Are lead acid batteries recyclable?
A. Lead acid batteries are 100% recyclable. Lead is the most recycled metal in the world today. The plastic containers and covers of old batteries are neutralized, reground and used to the manufacture of new battery cases. The electrolyte can be processed for recycled waste water uses.

The separators are often used as a fuel source for the recycling process.
