I just got off the phone with a battery rep.
He said that these batteries might have 1 or 2 compounds that won’t work in the furnace
Lithium polymer And Lithium cobalt oxide.
So much for recycling lead acid.
Thanks everyone.

Jay, I couldn't find anyone in the Reno area either so I went searching. Try Batteryrecyclersofamerica.com 866.827.1830 I spoke to them last week and they will schedule a truck to pick them up after I have them on a pallet ready for shipment. Still waiting to find out what I need to do but I think it's just wrapping them in plastic, making sure not to include too much weight and possibly adding some decals. If they don't come thru I guess plan B might be to flush them, get the lead out, and make more bullets for my 45 long colt (ought to be several thousand rounds). Gary
