Old car batteries are at the end of their life because they have low capacity or have shorted cells.

Old car batteries are at the end of their life because they have low capacity or have shorted cells.
- SilverRed 5y agoA battery with only 50% capacity is pretty useless for a car but if you get it for cheap, its a great deal for a home battery.
- cogman10 5y agoThe realities of batteries is that most of the cells will be at 90% capacity while a few will have dropped to 50%. So recycling really can be just plucking out the good cells and breaking down the few old cells. Those 90% cells will also have a pretty nice degradation curve as most of the loss happens within the first few years of operating.
