Get yourself a couple pallets and palatalize them when you load the van, no need to move them heavy buggers twice!

[@brianspencer6955]

Good luck taking them out of the van with the forklift. Good idea but not sure if it's worth the potential vehicle damage. I've always wanted to make a special crate for shred so I don't have to lift it twice lol.

[@MattyOh78]

@@brianspencer6955 use a chain to drag it out if necessary, van seems to have quite a few dings and scratches as is. We crate ours, but also drive a dedicated box truck

[@ashimpaul9929]

There is at least one tonne car batteries

They are heavy fuck me

[@jennypennyridesagain5599]

Another scrapper I was watching said that you should always make sure your batteries are topped up for the maximum weight and payout.

[@wgwells]

Ben, my back was hurting with sympathy pains, brother! God bless you for keeping those things out of our landfills and giving us all a way to cheer for hard work!

"Alright, alright, alright " a new video with the australian Bat(tery) Man ya. I think 999 kg 🔋🔋🔋 Greets from Berlin 😉👍

[@randystone6781]

Hi Ben, Greetings from Michigan, USA. I really enjoy your channel and am constantly amazed at the volume of what you scrap. 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.

[@jacewarrior284]

Hi Ben. Thanks for the great guessing competition and all your videos. Good luck to everyone. My guess is 969 KG. love to all from England. Stay safe.

[@mcmetal632]

Hi Ben : I was trying to help with the batteries but you kept getting in my way 🤣 but you got a good work out. My guess 1,365 pounds. i enjoy your channel. 👍

Good luck to all, the content makes us all winners.

[@HomecockpitsAndMore]

Oh wow that's quite a few batteries! My uneducated guess is that that whole load is maybe around 461kg? Super cool you're doing this little competition! Best greetings and keep scrapping!

[@Alexander_l322]

I was going to say that but I went higher as I hope Ben has lots to make himself more money 💰 I could be wrong though!

[@robda7195]

When it comes to battery's would you not be better off and save your back by getting a pallet and loading them on a pallet in your van that way they can just lift it out rather than you handballing them in the van and out again

[@eWasteBen]

need a forklift to load it and the pallet needs to be weighed out, they are all different in weight wet or dry they don't fit in my van, australian pallets are larger than euro palllets, a mercedes is euro

[@Best_singer_eazy_e]

eWaste Ben my two dream Country’s are Canada 🇨🇦 and Australia 🇦🇺

[@robda7195]

Ah OK the scrappy I use in the uk just nocks off 15kg if you drop stuff loaded on a pallet regardless of if the pallets wet or dry granted I've used the same ones for 10+ years and I ment keep a pallet to one side in the drive or your ally way and as and when you want to get rid of your batteries put the pallet in the van first then load your batteries onto that would have saved you from manually unloading but if you can't find one to fit scratch that idea

[@steveslavin7025]

@@Best_singer_eazy_e 🇨🇦 eh!

[@nickhouck4309]

I use the milk crates for stuff like that.

[@sofa-lofa4241]

My guess would be 666 Kilo's (the batteries of the beast!) With Aussie conversion, that'll be 16 Roo's, 26 Wombats, 66 Koalas or 95 Echidna's... Hope this helps ;-) I've only ever seen battery bins at UK scrappies, never had to deal with a bloody pallet... That sucks!

2365 lbs for Ben's batteries lol who knows, fun just playing at least lol Good haul

[@scrapman502]

almost 20 minutes of watching Ben Load batteries a couple at a time. That's time I'll never get back.

[@icecore29]

Love ur vids, watch them all the time!! My guess is 2,562 lbs, much love and stay safe from Texas

[@RafalScrapper]

for such amount will be cool to have own two palets and set them on the floor of car first then later on they will just take palets out from car 👍😀👍

[@mattcourty6322]

Unless they have a different forklift than the one shown it wouldn't work with his van the upright of the fork would hit his hatch door.

[@RafalScrapper]

@@mattcourty6322 yes you right tho one pallet will do thru side door

[@urbansmokes]

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.

[@RafalScrapper]

@@urbansmokes yeps it is all about to tough or lif the material as less time as possible but you know how many scrappers that many ways of handling some tasks it is good to watch others how they doing certain stuff and get a little lesson of it

[@harryverboom4032]

really nice load and 21 cent for clean steel is also really good my guess is 1016 kilo no counting haha

[@naterichards2503]

1482 LBS 'ish.. lol These things add up quickly.

[@scrappersteve6372]

That is a bunch of batteries!! I haven't turned that many in at once in years. I'm 8 months past my 3rd neck surgery and looking forward to scrapping full-time soon! My guess is 2207 pounds.

O: It's close to a metric ton ~1000kg

[@TheSuperobak]

It's 625kg 😆 black one pls. I was really tired only watching how you unload batteries. Nice work

[@gregb1714]

I'm going to say 1444 pounds for the batteries.

[@bondiscrapper1781]

Ben. I think your van will take a pallet through the doors. Put a pallet in and stack straight on. They might need long reach tynes on the fork to clear the top hinge door. Even several of the undersize throw away pallets might work.

[@roseydays]

i'm sure Mrs eWaste was happy to see that metal and batteries gone

[@bondiscrapper1781]

I'm pretty sure Ben is like me and let's "Mrs" eWaste live in there own house. Maybe I'm wrong...

Great videos! Appreciate your hard work. Always something to learn! My guess is 1365 pounds. Jim in Phoenix, AZ.

[@mascmc1001]

You need a set of brick tongs to move all the little batteries. Can probably pick up a bunch at a time

[@Serpentvm]

Hi Ben! I'm going to say 1322 pounds for the batteries. Hello from Russia. I enjoy your channel.

Hi Ben my guess is the weight for the batteries was 681kg

[@phoenixrestorations315]

You should keep a bucket for the screws you get when scraping out stuff. Those would add up quickly and be clean steel.

[@wastescrapper7692]

Nice collection Ben. Great work. Our guess is 672 kilos. Couldn’t be bother to try and count them all. Thanks for all you do for the viewers. Cheers

Nice workout Ben, my back would be in bits doing that. I guess 768Kg.

I cashed in some batteries few weed ago and you have by far more so I’m going guess you had about 15 times the amount I had. 956kg

[@JDeWittDIY]

My guess is 1,730 pounds of batteries. I figured about 300 UPS batteries @ 5.5lbs each and 2 car batteries @ 40lbs each.

[@keithhaycraft3765]

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.

Whatever metric we like? My guess is 1,8e-28 solar masses.

Battery Tetris!👌How long did it take to unload? That was quite a job, I bet!

[@1Eagler]

So, what was the weight? I guess the next time it would be better to put a pallet in the car and stack them while loading the truck

[@AXLAXHENNE]

if you can fit a pallet into the back of your van, do it, put the batteries on top, drive to the yard, then they can take them right out with the lift

So when do we find out what the weight was and how much they paid for Batteries? Based on some of your prices I am thinking that over here on the eastern side of Melbourne we are getting ripped of. Last time they graciously offered not to charge me for dropping of my scrap metal (about a metric tonne of clean shredder material)

Ben, id say about 1650 lbs of batteries. Should of of been a nice trip to the yard

I reckon 1075kg. I'm in the UK tho so no worries if I can't be the recipient if I am closest (which I know is unlikely)

[@TheDurdane]

You need some small pallets m8. Or at least the forklift guy should put some wooden blocks underneath the pallets, lol. But then again your lifting technique is very good lol, and off course its a goof exercise! My guess is 375 KG... Good luck m8!

I took about half as many batteries to the scrap yard a few weeks ago, they weighed 890 pounds so I am guessing 1780 pounds. I only got $0.12 per pound.
