Used Batteries Make New Batteries: Up to 99% of your car battery is recyclable and can be used to make new batteries and other products. The battery components are processed to produce new lead grids and plastic containers for vehicle batteries and used in other products such as cleaners. The recycling cycle goes on indefinitely. The lead and plastic in your vehicle battery has been, and will continue to be, recycled many, many times.
