What To Do If My Car Battery Is Dead?

So your car won't start this morning but it was
fine when it was parked up last night? The
obvious starting point would be to check the
battery, firstly put the key in the ignition and
turn the key.

• If we have no lights or only faint lights on the
  dashboard we know the car is not getting enough
  power so the battery in one way or another is at
  fault and will probably need replacing.

4
Most batteries are held in by two 10mm bolts one
on the positive terminal and the other on the
negative, these will need to be done in order to
change the battery.

• So now you have a new battery what can you do
  with your old one? you can let the person who has
  changed it take it away or drop it off at your
  local waste/recycling Centre. If you opt to weigh
  the battery in at a scrap yard you will receive
  some money for it.

The scrap yard will sell the batteries to a
bigger recycling firm with access to a hammer
mill, the battery will then be crushed,
with the old battery acid distilled and
neutralized and released into the sewers or made
into sodium sulfate white is a white powder often
used in laundry powder.

• The plastic casing is made into plastic pellets
  and then resold to other businesses, the lead
  will be smelted down and then sold back to
  battery companies and the whole process starts
  again.
