    and the first person to guess correctly will win, or the closest to the exact amount if no-one guesses correctly.
    Winner has the choice of the two bracelets or the one wheat style bracelet.

    I'm not new to scrapping, but e-waste is an area that I've not really done, but want to do. I'm drawing quite a bit of inspiration from you and a couple other channels, so Thank You.

    I think 479.3 kg, Ben. It would be interesting to see if there are many which still hold a charge. If they do, they might be of use to fossickers with highbanker sluices.
    I bet you drove carefully when taking that lot of batteries to the scrapyard, Ben.

    With Aussie conversion, that'll be 16 Roo's, 26 Wombats, 66 Koalas or 95 Echidna's... Hope this helps ;-)

      If you think for two seconds there are many ways to get the pallet out of the van. One way is customize a ramp, put plywood on sides or have a wooden crate to enclose batteries, Rachet strap ‘em tight & then have a winch pull ‘em down.
      Taking 30-45 minutes to devise a plan is worth a hell of a lot more than the 1-2 hrs it took him to unload at the scrap yard & touching all the batteries twice. Especially if you would do this once every few months.
      Seems been works a lot harder than he has too.
      Still good on him for recycling them, and work he does.
