        personally i'd just haul them to autozone and be done with it.

        This. Get a Hydrometer, and some new acid, refill and trickle charge them. For about 15-20 dollars, you have new batteries.

          The batteries I have are good, or at least they were when they were put on the shelf. I think I could probably slow charge them up to working potential. The point is that I don't have any use for them and it seems like a waste to scrap them.

            1) Buy a huge microwave.
            2) put battery(s) in it.
            3) put microwave on 'high'.
            4) set timer for 10 minutes.
            5) push start with a really long stick.
            6) see what happens.

              Bind them all together and throw them in the pool of someone you hate.

                Make sure you wash them in a bathtub first. ;)

                  1. Find something in the garage you don't need any more like an old frying pan
                  2. Make Craigslist ad pairing battery and said frying pan for $20.
                  2. Profit.

                            punch a hole in them, drain into a bucket, then proceed to wash your car with it. who knows, it could be the new kool thing to do.

                              Use them as the energy storage for a home built wind powered garage heater.
