Turn Old Watch
Batteries Into Value
AG Refining specializes in purchasing and recycling silver oxide watch batteries from businesses, collectors, repair facilities, jewelry stores, distributors, recycling companies, and industrial sources. If you have accumulated used watch batteries containing silver, our experienced team can help recover the value from these materials through professional refining and recycling services.
Many watch batteries contain silver oxide chemistry that includes recoverable silver. Rather than disposing of these batteries as waste, businesses can convert them into a valuable recyclable commodity. At AG Refining, we help customers maximize the value of their silver-bearing battery scrap while supporting environmentally responsible recycling practices.
Whether you have a small quantity of silver oxide batteries or large commercial volumes, we offer reliable purchasing and refining solutions backed by industry experience and transparent service.

Why Recycle Silver
Silver oxide watch batteries contain precious metal content that can often be recovered through specialized refining processes. Furthermore, many businesses accumulate thousands of watch batteries each year without realizing their recycling value. By partnering with AG Refining, these materials can be processed responsibly while generating a return on recyclable assets.
As a result, recycling these batteries can provide both environmental and financial benefits. Benefits of recycling silver oxide watch batteries include:
- Support for circular economy programs
- Recovery of valuable silver content
- Reduction of landfill waste
- Environmentally responsible disposal
- Compliance with recycling initiatives
- Additional revenue from accumulated battery scrap
- Sustainable resource recovery

Professional Silver Recovery and Refining
The refining process plays a critical role in recovering precious metals from silver oxide batteries. Because these batteries contain specialized materials, proper handling and processing are essential.
At AG Refining, materials are evaluated and processed using established recovery methods designed to maximize silver recovery whenever possible. Because each industry generates different volumes and battery types, we tailor our services to meet specific recycling requirements.
Our process focuses on:
- Material identification
- Lot evaluation
- Precious metal recovery
- Responsible recycling
- Environmental compliance
- Accurate settlement procedures
- Professional customer support
As a result, customers receive a streamlined recycling experience from initial inquiry through final settlement.
In addition, we work with organizations that generate ongoing volumes of silver-bearing batteries and require a dependable recycling partner.
If you are unsure whether your batteries contain silver oxide, our team can help evaluate the material and determine potential recycling opportunities.
Because each silver-oxide battery contains only a very small amount of silver, it usually takes a larger quantity of batteries before refining becomes financially worthwhile. In most cases, collecting more than one pound of silver watch batteries is recommended to help offset recycling and refining costs. Larger quantities often provide a better return because the recovered silver value can exceed processing expenses.
At AG Refining, we help customers identify, sort, and recycle silver-bearing watch batteries safely and responsibly. Our experienced team works with jewelers, watch repair shops, recycling centers, and businesses across the country to recover valuable precious metals while keeping hazardous materials out of landfills. Recycling silver watch batteries not only helps recover valuable materials but also supports environmental sustainability by reducing waste and promoting the reuse of precious metals.
