Battery Recycling in Newcastle

Australia’s national product stewardship scheme B-cycle offers battery recycling at thousands of locations across the country. Any brand of AA, AAA, C, D and 9V batteries (rechargeable and non-rechargeable) can be recycled – simply drop them into dedicated bins.

The solution being developed with University of Newcastle leverages chemical processes to separate cobalt and various battery metals from spent EV and energy storage system batteries. This reduces mining operations and environmental impact.

Truck Batteries

There’s a unique energy around truck batteries; they’re more than just the energy bricks that start engines. They’re powerhouses that make the whole vehicle tick, ensuring it drives smoothly on the road. Whether you’re driving on the freeway or navigating through the streets of Newcastle, managing speed bumps and turns are much smoother when your battery’s charged up!

SSB offers a wide range of truck batteries to suit your specific needs. Among them is the Automotive Silver series, which delivers value for money with its long maintenance-free life and ultra-high performance. The SSB Conventional series, on the other hand, offers heavy-duty power and longevity with its improved internal construction and a high cranking capacity. Other best sellers include the SSB iStart, Auxiliary, Lithium Starting and Autostart series. All these are backed by a national warranty from SSB’s battery experts. Find out more about our battery range by visiting a Battery Store near you! You can also drop in your old batteries at participating stores like Aldi and Officeworks.

Car Batteries

For your car, truck, van or 4WD needs there is a battery in the range to suit. SSB’s Automotive Silver series is designed by Australians and delivers the power and performance that today’s vehicles demand. It offers a higher Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) capacity, high internal resistance and is completely maintenance free.

Providing the right car battery will keep your vehicle running longer and help you get to your destination on time. Whether your car is suffering from what seems like a flat battery or you have another electrical problem, our specialist mechanics will find the solution fast. We partner with a network of car battery shops who offer affordable and fast services. Car batteries contain hazardous chemicals, so when they die, you should dispose of them responsibly. Your local service centre may be able to recycle your old car battery for you. This will also ensure that any remaining charge in the battery is not wasted.

Deep Cycle Batteries

Deep Cycle Batteries in Newcastle are the heart of any solar power system. They store energy from the sun to be used at night when demand is higher. They are a great choice for those looking to reduce their energy consumption and become more environmentally friendly.

SSB’s Fusion EV series is designed for frequent, deep cycles in electric vehicles. It features a special active material that ensures competitive cycle performance and high heat tolerance. Using Absorbent Glass Mats (AGM) and fluid displacement technology, it offers superior durability, long life expectancy, resistance to vibrations, and more.

Always monitor your battery to avoid over-discharging, which can damage the lead plates and significantly shorten its lifespan. It is also recommended to use a specific deep cycle battery charger when charging. AGM deep cycle batteries offer superior construction, with the electrolyte absorbed into a fiberglass mat. They are resistant to extreme temperatures and shocks, making them a good choice for marine applications.

Lithium Ion Batteries

There are an estimated five lithium-ion battery fires across NSW every week. When batteries are not correctly manufactured, used, stored or disposed of, they can cause a fire, which can result in significant property damage and serious injuries. In many cases the fires are caused by a process known as thermal runaway, where the battery overheats and vents toxic gases. The best way to reduce the risk of thermal runaway is to use a charger that is designed specifically for your battery and only charge it when needed.

Energy Renaissance is developing a world-first, onshore battery manufacturing facility in the Hunter Region to produce CSIRO-developed prismatic modular batteries for grid scale energy storage systems. The project aligns with the Federal Government’s energy policy of making clean and affordable energy more accessible to Australians, and aims to create more jobs in the local economy. The new facility will also maximise the value of our abundant natural resources by adding value to raw materials.
