Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 4387411" data-attributes="member: 15054">Yea I have about 10 full size car batteries laying around.Last month I got to use 2 of those dead suckers as cores for a buddies diesel truck that would crank and crank and crank before it started.Amps were dropping into the 9 amp range when cranking.I kept his batteries which will work for small stuff around here like my pin tumbler.Or boat light battery.With 2 new batteries his diesel truck busts right off.You used to get good money for them at the scrap place but standard iron only gives 5 cents a pound on them at this time.I have not used one to get the lead.I have a lot of lead at this moment and would always buy it when I could get it for $1 a pound or less.200 gr bullet 7000 grains in a pound. That is 35 bullets for 1 dollar.Many times I got free lead from jobs or picking up wheel weights or pulling old weights off car rims I scrapped or paid in the 30 cents a pound area.Years ago when 22 ammo was unobtanium I would trade it for buckets of wheel weights.</blockquote>
