The fact that somebody effectively dovetailed those with standard cinderblocks is both impressive, and a nod to the good old days when most batteries were the same size.
I'd wager most of those are 6 volt.

I was tripping on the size thing. The deal is for what those are worth it to Recycling yard you could buy two to three concrete blocks with every one of them.....actually more than that ,depending on Weight. I think last 12 volt battery I scrapped I got seven bucks for. Maybe 10

i built a shed out of old garage doors in my shop, took it apart , hauled it to camp and reassembled it. didn't put the roof on until at camp.
Damn, those look like old tar tops. Yeah, you used to be able to rebuild batteries....the good old days.
My dad built a retaining wall back in the early 90's. I was in charge of backfilling with rocks and filling the block with concrete. I put god knows how many old busted slant six and 318 parts in that wall.
