Can anyone tell me if a "dead" 12v - 100ah battery is worth anything?
Can it be sold and if so, where? I stay in Durban.

Try a scrap yard. I've taken a whole bunch of them before to The Reclamation Group at 81 Teak road, Jacobs. They will give you the best price.

Assume OP meant UPS and not USB...

Good call, I may have a couple that I need to dispose of properly.

Any electronics recycling depot will take them. They are lots of them around in every city. Not sure if they will pay you for them though, but they will definitely dispose of them correctly.

Take it to a Battery Centre?
We care about protecting the environment. That’s why Battery Centre franchises nationwide collect used batteries for recycling. Through our own recycling facility we can help save the environment, prevent waste and create quality new batteries.
