@gme AFAIK unless you've got #LiFePO4 batteries most EV's won't even have any voltage at -40°C, but have their cells potentially destroyed due to the cold.

Heck, that temperature is even ruining #LeadAcid batteries on regular combustion vehicles...

Messing around with old #leadacid batteries: usually a waste of time.

Has anyone out there successfully recycled (into a working battery) a #LeadAcid #battery?

#LeadAcidBatteries

When disposing of old lead-acid batteries, keep in mind that the price of lead is currently €2.20 per kg.

Most of the weight of a lead-acid battery is lead. So four 27kg 100Ah batteries are worth over €200 in resources, minus a little for extracting and disposing the rest.

So don't let anyone fool you into paying for battery disposal. If they get to collect it for free, you're doing them a big favour.
