![]() Visit the yard and scavenge for batteries for my car make/model or if they have one in stock.Ask to see if they have equivalent cars to what I am looking for.Call them and ask if they have an electronic inventory of what’s in the yard.Search for local auto salvage yards (use the map above).Here is what I like to do to find used car batteries near me: If the battery looks swollen or had been leaking fluid, move on and go find another one. The cleaner the terminals are and the less corrosion the better chance you have getting more power from it. When I find a a battery I generally inspect the connections, cables, look for any corrosion issues around it and anything that can prevent it from doing its job. There is a high probability that it’s been sitting for a while and exposed to the elements. You will probably not find a perfectly clean battery in an auto salvage yard, especially if its in the yard. ![]() Its important to know not just any car battery is good for you vehicle, you need a perfect fit for the best performance. So what I do is find the battery I need, purchase it (you can get a warranty), and if needed sometimes restore it. Obviously you can test to see if it has some juice out in the yard, but still you will have no idea if its reliable and can actually have enough load to start your car. If you have to search in the lot and happen to find a working one, you will have no idea if it’s near the end of it’s life. These batteries are tested and some even refurbish them before resale. A lot of junk yards will pull the batteries in advance and store them in their warehouse for resale. If you have a Pick-n-Pull style yard you may have to scavenge around. ![]() Hold can upside down and press button to release vapor, then put in your garbage can.In my experience the auto salvage yards near me have a lot of used car batteries.
