What are some places I can find them at?
|
Where do you live - town/state/country? In the city or country?
You drive around with your dad. Otherwise, all you done is ask questions since joining three weeks ago. Tell us a little about yourself.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
The obvious place is in USED CARS of course. Couldn't resist.Originally Posted by bigfoot
I actually buy my used batteries FROM my local scrap yard.
It would help if you go to the introduce myself section and post an intro.

Try typing the title of your thread into the search bar. With all due respect, we cant spoon feed you everything. Just search dude
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Thank you Jord, an Mick for saying it nicer then me. An Pnut got to the pun before I did.
Maybe take some time an dig into the forums, vs posting new threads asking for info already available here. It really doesn't take long. Oh an while it matters not..surely after all these answers you could give thanks to the folks who reply to you. I don't get why you wouldn't offer thanks to someone who is providing you info(not to the OP, general you, for this sentence at lest). I see folks who've been members here for a couple years now, with no thanks given, an just don't get it. Surely in 3 years, 3 months, or 2 weeks, someone has offered you some info, advice, etc you didn't know before hand. Then again, maybe the non-thankers are allergic to the thanks button.

Sirscrapalot - Dejavu = When you can almost swear some one asked this just the other day..!!! Thats why mines so low. Im rarely on the full site but when I am I do thank people. Maybe thats one thing that can be updated at some point.

It says when you post from the app.An yes I know the app lacks the thanks option, the folks I'm seeing tho aren't posting from the app unless they found a way to disable the "Posted from Android App" that appears at the bottom of the post.
Like I said..not a big deal. I'm just ranting, over tiny things.
If that's all I can complain about life is good.

Didnt know that. Well that's my excuse and im stickin with it.
As for this thread, I'll help ONE more time. Next post you're on your own my friend.
1. Make a CL ad saying you'll take em free.
2. Go to repair shops and see if you can remove the batteries for them
3. Offer to buy them for a few bucks and sell to the yard.
4. Towing companies often change out batteries for cold morning victims. Contact them amd inquire.
5. ^^^ I thought of those off the top of my head in about 30 seconds. By the way, im 23. Young like you. I Havent been at this that long at all. This is where reading and searching has helped me. Its a great feeling to be one of the guys answering questions rather than asking them. Edit: not saying I dont ask question! We all do. We just search first
And I'll play the part of the broken record, Please use the search bar, I promise it wont bite! Although I cant say the same for siracrap... watch him.

That's where I get my batteries. They're not car batteries but they are between 1lb and 60lbs each. It adds up quick.

You will find the used batteries in the last place you look so hmmm, where have you been finding them?
I'm so nice..anyway

Hmmm.... Why the subterfuge?
Bigfoot, I have yet to deal with any type of vehicle, but uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be a good source. Those I mainly see on surplus auctions.
