Batteries

Returning batteries at a competitive price? With us, you have come to the right place. Our specialists are ready to help you. Whether you have car traction or stationary batteries, we take in all types of lead batteries (car traction and stationary). We have all the relevant permits for processing old lead-acid batteries. You can recognise a lead battery by the letters 'Pb', which are almost always on the outside of the battery.

Automotive traction lead-acid batteries

Automotive traction lead-acid batteries come from vehicles such as cars, forklifts, trucks, aerial work platforms and agricultural machinery. These batteries are used for operations where the battery is recharged every day and there are often large discharges. They last longer than stationary batteries and can discharge up to 80%, which is better for the environment.

Stationary lead-acid batteries

Stationary lead-acid batteries come from telephone exchanges, power plants and emergency power supplies (UPS) used by hospitals, for example. Stationary batteries discharge less deeply than car traction batteries, namely up to 50%. An advantage is that they are cheaper than car traction batteries.

Why hand in old batteries?

We offer you a market-based price for old batteries. It does not matter whether you are a private individual or a company. We determine the price based on the prices of the materials. These exchange rates vary from day to day.

In addition, recycling your old materials is good for the environment. Metal trade Ketting ensures that your returned materials are given a useful purpose as secondary raw materials.

Recycling

By making more and more processes circular, we get less waste and reduce the use of expensive primary raw materials. The use of these expensive primary raw materials is a major burden on the environment. Metaalhandel Ketting is committed to collecting and recycling old metal waste so that it can be processed into secondary raw materials. We have various quality marks that demonstrate that we operate in a responsible and safe manner.

With us, you can hand in your batteries with peace of mind. We work very transparently and ensure that any material you hand in to us is recycled in a sustainable way.

Return

Just like recycling, transparency is a very important factor within our company. Our customers always know where they stand. Old lead-acid batteries are processed through fixed and recognisable procedures. These include visual inspection, weighing on our own weighbridge and administrative checks. In addition, we are involved in the various developments within our sector. This allows us to guarantee you the best conditions.

Metaalhandel Ketting is conveniently located near the village of Pernis in Rotterdam. See how you can deliver materials by road and water.

Battery price

The LME exchange rate, or London Metal Exchange, usually determines the daily price of batteries. The price can vary daily and we adjust our purchase prices accordingly. Processing costs also influence the purchase price.

At Metaalhandel Ketting, you are guaranteed a fair price for your metals and we are transparent about this. If you are curious about the current value of your old batteries, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can do so via the contact form below or via Whatsapp.
