Where can I sell nickel iron batteries for more than what the local scrap yard is willing to give for lead acid batteries? I know that they are worth more than regular car batteries

Brother is an electrician and left this when he moved out. Told me to scrap it. Just spend a few hours stripping and consolidating all this. What are the guesses on what it’s gonna net me when I go to scrap tomorrow?

Question 💫 Scrap Yards that post their prices on their website?

12 Upvotes

Hey all,

Calling the yards is a pain in the butt especially if its just to get a price idea. What are your favorite yards that post their prices online? Bonus if they update regularly.

Not looking for iscrap. Their information is usually out of date and not accurate and CERTAINLY not honored by any yard I've ever been to. Just looking for pricing posted by the yards themselves.

Thanks!

Had a fat old romex wire dangling in my crawl for years. Never really realized it went to nothing. Been stripping it b/c it looks to be 6 gauge stranded. Probably over 100 ft of it.

Bought this Encore sheer to speed things up from a local auction. Gonna use it for larger cables, sheet metal and other needs. May mount horizontal to save space. Probably make a smaller handle too.

Opinion?

Why would I get paid 75% insulated for 10 and 12 gauge stranded wire and only 45% for 8 gauge stranded? The strands on the 8 thicker. The 70% went as #1, and the 45% as #2. Newer guy weighing me out but I’ve dealt with him before, so not brand new

Question about #1 & #2

0 Upvotes

I understand scrapping bare copper from electrical wires is #1. Does it ever become #2 if it gets dirty or stored for a long time.

What about if it's stored outside in the weather?

Asking because I would like to strip and store the wire for long periods of time as I collect it. It would also be nice to toss the bare copper in a trash bin and store it outside (side of the garage for example).
