The main battery recycling page explains the equipment, the safety points and the costs in more detail.
Secunda notes on batteries
Plenty of Secunda families start with a lead acid trolley and later upgrade to a 48V lithium battery that matches their inverter. Contractors on the Bethal and Leandra roads buy 12V lithium batteries for camper trailers and tool chargers. Gate motor batteries in Embalenhle and the complexes near the town centre wear out with heavy use. Ask the seller to take back the old battery for recycling.
Power in Secunda
Secunda grew up as a planned town around a huge fuels and chemicals complex, and many residents are shift workers and contractors who need power for sleep, work laptops and alarms at odd hours. Electricity is supplied through the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality, which buys from Eskom, with Eskom feeding some outlying and rural areas directly. Network faults, cable theft and storm damage cause outages in parts of the area. Shift households in Secunda and Trichardt back up lights, wifi, the fridge and a fan or heater by the bed. Contractors and engineering firms ask for UPS and portable power for site work. Highveld summer storms bring lightning, so surge protection matters.
Typical battery recycling requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: dropping off an old inverter bank, gate battery or car battery for scrap
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: scheduled collection of forklift, UPS and plant batteries on pallets
- Electricians, installers and security companies: installers handing in old banks removed from clients' homes each month
