Second Start Battery โ€” Battery Renewal & Recycling

Eastern North Carolina

Every battery we sell, we can show it works.

Most used batteries are sold with no proof they work. Ours come with a number, a test date and a measured result โ€” so you can see exactly what you're buying before you pay for it.

And if you've got old ones piling up, we'll collect them free and put them through the same process.

What that number actually means

A battery's rating is stamped on the case. What matters is what it measures today. We only sell one when the measurement clears 80% of its own rating โ€” and we write both numbers on the record so you can check the math yourself.

Step 1

Inspected & cleaned

Cases checked for cracks, bulges and leaks. Anything damaged never goes any further.

Step 2

Charged & rested

Fully charged, then left to rest โ€” a battery read straight off the charger gives a false reading.

Step 3

Electronically tested

Measured cold-cranking amps and resting voltage, plus a load test where it applies.

Step 4

Passed or recycled

Under 80%, it doesn't go on the shelf. It goes intact to a licensed recycler.

Got old batteries? We'll take them from you for free.

Cars, trucks, tractors, mowers, boats, golf carts. We run scheduled routes across Eastern North Carolina โ€” you don't load anything, pay anything, or go looking for a recycler. Recurring pickups available for shops with a pile building up.

  • โœ“ Tractor and farm equipment
  • โœ“ Lawn and small equipment

A damaged battery is handled under different rules and we're not permitted to take it. Say so up front and we'll point you to someone who can.

Prices

A premium new battery runs $150โ€“$250. If you just need your truck to start reliably, a tested battery does that for a fraction of the price.

$69.95

For a tested car or light-truck battery. Final price depends on group size, type, and what has passed testing that week. Every battery comes with its record and written replacement terms.
