An apparatus for washing storage batteries comprises a rinse section for removing water soluble acid, followed by a wash section to remove non-soluble contaminants. The water in the rinse section is isolated from the water in the wash section. Means are provided for collecting acid solution from the rinse section, and for filtering and recycling the water in the wash section. Batteries are moved through the sections in sequence on a carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the rinse section comprises a partitioned collecting pan underlying the carrier to create sequential rinsing in progressively less acidic rinse water and to concentrate the most acidic rinse water before the first partition for extraction as an acid solution. A drying section using air blowers along the carrier may be included after the washing section.
