Just replaced the two 6v AGM with Li, are old batteries worth anything?

I just replaced the two Harris 6v AGM batteries. They are from a 2021 T@b 400. Are they worth anything? What did you do with yours if you changed to Lithium?

They might be of interest to other TAB owners who haven't upgraded to lithium. Due to weight, shipping is likely to prohibitively expensive, so you'll be looking for a local who can pick them up. Where are you located?

When I switch out my two AGM's with lithium, I bought an inverter charger and used the batteries to run my sump pump if the power goes out at home while I'm gone.

Battery recyclers pay $15 - $20 for auto batteries for the lead content. Generally determined by weight or size. The Interstate distributer in our area is always accepting any LA batteries of any type.

Is that where these are used the most? I searched for the brand and model number and could not even find a retailer for them.

I find my old camper battery invaluable as a portable 12v power source. Others do as well and run or charges devices, fridges, etc. Helpful for testing various trailers' ebrakes and lights.

Sold my two year old 100AH AGM on marketplace for $100 bucks. There's also a battery place near me that buys dead ones.

I used my "old" 80 amp hour stock battery as a "spare" for a few trips before it gave up the ghost and slowly failed. Like Maxcamp said, I used it for a portable 12V fridge, and it worked very well for that. The dual 6v setup can probably be used for that sort of purpose, except...they just weigh so much.

Unless the 6V batteries had been changed from stock, they were originally Harris 6V, you might find some info here on the models. The 6V battery has been called the "golf cart" size for ages.
