    Battery Recycling

    Automotive batteries I like to change there names before I take them to the scrap yard.

    Super Start is Not so Super Start

    Ever Start in now Never Start.
    Lol.

    And if the cells are dry I add some h2o more weight.

    Better than the dump!

    I hear you on the neverstart.

    Changed the name of NAPA batteries to crappa batteries.

    Interstate batteries are pretty good. We had one morning the winter before last when it was -15 F. Fricken cold. The car with the NAPA battery wouldn't even turn over. The car with the interstate battery started up without much trouble.

    I think so. The cold temperatures we see can kill you if you are stuck in a blizzard and your car craps out because the battery failed. It would be the same for HF because the summertime temps get into the triple digits where he is. I never thought that the heat would kill a battery till i started working in a local garage a few years back.
