Lead acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate.

The youtube videos of the sweatshops in India/Pakistan where they do the recycling are riveting af.

When I'm broke and homeless I'm going to follow those videos step by step to recycle batteries. My apocalypse wilderness shelter is going to have electricity it'll be sick.

Don’t forget the part where you buy all of the extremely hazardous acid before the apocalypse.

And then remember to do the wiring of your shelter before you breath in all the acid and lead fumes.

Get the order wrong there and you’re just gonna burn all your tanks of acid.

That's exactly right. It's too hard and it doesn't work. Nobody should try to do this and should definitely leave any relevant supplies behind for not me to get to instead.

The Florida reprocessing plant was an absolute mess. So many people were getting ridiculous exposure levels from that place and dying young.
