I have about three tons of battries any help from anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What way would you guys rifine this lot???????? how much gold would you say there is in this lot
This is just a sample of what I have pulled from the batteries this is 40lbs. of scrap but under the plated it is all copper this I know
one of the biggest ? Is how should I refined this product I am thinking more like run in nitric and pull the silver and then wash with nitric and menaric making AR and then when dropped I would wash with nitric again will that take care of the lead as you can see that on pic 5 there is dots on the end of the pins and that is my problem can any one help????
The pins that are copper I just let them sit in nitric for about 30 seconds and that will take the plating off and like that I don't waste to much nitric and can sell the copper later

a tenth would be 600 lbs,not likely, i would look for more like 1/1000 or 1/10000th since most of the weight isn't in the contacts.try this,dismantle 6 lbs of batteries and get all the contacts,process them,get a weight and multiple by 1000.

Use the cell for the large pins. It will save you chemicals.
I agree that the sulfuric cell would take too much time, unless you can tumble the parts. What is the total weight of the pins you want to process? Since nitric is so cheap in Mexico (I heard 7 pesos per liter), that may be the best way to go. You can dissolve about 2 pounds of copper in 1 gallon of nitric. Filter off the nitric and dissolve the residue in aqua regia. Make sure you understand this process and have adequate fume control before attempting this. We can guide you along.
The pins.
I assume you mean 1400 grams. What is the total weight of all the pins? Is that price for nitric right - 7 pesos per liter? I can't help you with the entire lot unless the gold parts have been separated. I'm only talking about the pins.
Correct nitric is cheap here like you said 7 pesos that is about .51cents a litter but you also got to remember I live in the second biggest city in Mexico that helps a lot then for what ever reason they sell chemicals here like in every corner don't know why
The total is ten bags at 1400grams a bag that would be 14000grams
The total is ten bags at 1400grams a bag that would be 14000grams
Great. I repeat. How much total weight of pins do you want to process, approximately?
I hate to leave you hanging johny, but it's way past my bedtime. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Jonhy 5136:
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!..... Alcalde street at Guadalajara´s downtown....I love Guadalajara,tequila,birria (a kind of BBQ) and beautiful girls from Guadalajara (called Tapatías)...I lived there many years ago and it was a very nice time in my life.
Going back to work,Jonhy,you have to get just the golden pins and contactors...it is a hard task,do not ever think in submerge the hole battery into the acid...they can explode.
GSP had told you a wise advice...once that you get all the pins and contactors you can also use AP process...take a look at Steve´s web site www.goldrecovery.us Do not expect kilograms of gold....probably a pound of golden pins and conectors yields to 1-2 gr of gold.If you decide to use nitric acid be careful to do this outside or take a look at the nitrogen oxides preventing processes here in the forum.
Have a nice day
