Batteries for storage are found in golf carts and forklifts. These items often go to the dump before they're really dead. Call the golf courses and rental agencies.

Check suppliers to road workers. Those flashy panel things that direct traffic are solar powered and are often hit by cars and go to the dump. If you let them know what you need them for, they might let you have some. The panels are up high and the cars hit low, so the panels are frequently recoverable, but since it's only tax dollars, they find it easier to just throw it away and buy new.
