Yes, throwing old batteries in the garbage is bad because they contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, and Mercury, which can leach into the environment and contaminate soil and water. Proper disposal through recycling programs helps prevent environmental pollution and allows for the recovery of valuable materials. Many localities have specific guidelines for battery disposal, making it important to follow those regulations.

If your old batteries have "swelled" or gotten enlarged where the battery is bulging out, it is time for replacement. There is a chemical solution that can be added to the old batteries to give them some more life, but it will NOT last long. In fact, I would gamble to say that they would probably fail within 3 months. Really not worth the hassle of purchasing the chemical, charging all the batteries only to have them quit on you. I too am looking for 6V Deep cycle batteries and I have found "they ain't cheap!" I would recommend saving your money and purchase a high end golf cart batteries and get the 5-7 years of use out of them. Anything else would be like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. You can expect to pay anywhere from $90-$225 for each 6V battery, depending on the brand. Trojan Batteries being some of the best out there.
