Trying to reclaim lead from batteries is about the most dangerous thing you can do for your health and that of those close to you. Here is a video of a guy doing it. He acts like he is being safe, but now the whole area around where he was working is contaminated with lead dust. In adition he was breathing lead filled fumes, and toxic fumes from the acid.
Compare all of that work to the small piece of lead he got. MOST of the lead in a battery is in the posts and the and the bars connecting the individual cells. Don't waste your time trying to recover the tiny amount of lead in the plates.
I know this because I have tried it. I was stupid a long time ago. I may still be, but I try to learn from my mistakes.
There was a show on back in early 60's. Ripcord, at the end Ken Curtis(played Festus on Gunsmoke), always said, Don't bet your life you can be careless and get away with it!!!
