Battery Recycling Starts Here
Join our Core Exchange Program!
Cat® Batteries are manufactured to Caterpillar’s high-quality standards and are ready to install! You’ll receive credit towards your new battery purchase when you bring in any used lead-acid battery.
The new Battery Core Exchange Program gives you immediate credit for recycling your qualifying lead batteries through our dealership at a higher value than the “junk” credits given through the previous recycling program. Our new Battery Core Exchange Program makes discarding spent lead-acid batteries easy, so you can reduce waste and support your sustainability goals.
WHY RECYCLE
Lead batteries are some of the most recycled consumer products in the U.S. This is due to the lead’s ability to be reused infinitely in the production of new batteries without a loss of performance.
When batteries are properly recycled, we reclaim plastic, metal and other core materials, keeping them out of landfills. This recycling process reduces the consumption of raw materials.
Lead batteries are 100% Recyclable.
On average, one recycled battery equals 2 lbs. of plastic, 18 lbs. of lead, and 1 gallon of acid.
General FAQs Regarding the New Battery Core Exchange Process:
Do I need a Cat brand battery to use the new Battery Core Exchange program?
No. Bring a Cat or any brand of lead-acid battery to one of our locations to better protect and preserve the environment. When you bring in old batteries, we are helping to make them new again and creating a more sustainable world, one battery at a time.
Are other brands of lead acid batteries accepted?
Yes. Most lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Ask a parts counter representative to see which ones qualify.
Why change the process?
We’re changing the process to empower environmental stewardship, to align with industry standards around battery recycling and provide a higher value for return of the core to incentivize you to join our program!
Can I bring in more than one battery for a purchase?
Yes. The replacement battery will be entitled to the higher-value core credit; however, additional batteries can be accepted based on the lower, direct purchase price.
Are you selling Used/Remanufactured batteries?
No. These are new batteries within the Battery Core Exchange program. We are utilizing the “New with Core” model for this process. Batteries are not used or remanufactured.
Do these batteries have the same warranty?
Yes, this is a new battery and carries the same Cat warranty.
