Where to Recycle Old Car Batteries?
1 Answers
Old car batteries can generally be traded in for new ones with some additional payment at recycling shops. Here is some relevant information: 1. Ensure the battery is securely fastened: The battery should be firmly installed in the vehicle to prevent the battery cables from coming loose due to vibration during driving, which could lead to power interruption. 2. Keep the battery surface clean: Car owners should regularly clean dust, dirt, and other debris from the battery cover to prevent the vent holes on the filler caps or plugs from being blocked. If solid oxides are found on the terminals, they should be promptly rinsed off with hot water to avoid affecting the conductivity between the terminals and the connecting posts. 3. Regularly check the electrolyte level in the battery: During the charging and discharging process, water in the electrolyte will gradually decrease due to electrolysis and evaporation, causing the electrolyte level to drop. If not replenished in time, it will shorten the battery's lifespan. Car owners should promptly add distilled water once they notice the level is too low.
