So, I don't understand why you would refer to IanDs post when my post was in answer to ditchcrawlers post and I had even quoted Ditchies post in my reply?

I guess it is - but I don't have my name and address on my batteries. Unlike 'domestic' or 'builders' waste, white-van man is unlikely to dump batteries under a hedge when he has paid for them, he will (presumably) cash them in at a scrapyard.

But if it some random guy in a White Van offering you money how would you know he is a scrap metal dealer ? If he is/was, surely the onus is on him to do it legally, there does not appear to be an offence of SELLING scrap metal for cash.

I was refering to the guy who is trying to fit out the HDPE hull he has purchased from bug-boats. and is asking for help on battery location. The boat is all-electric and I am looking g for opinions on the best position for my battery rack (it will weight about 300kg). I’m particularly keen to know if the floor option presents a BSS issue

If I was he, I'd be more concerned about the RCD compliance, as it doesn't come under the exclusion of being DIY.

So, a 20kg 110Ah battery should be £9-£13, which aligns with the £10 I got for mine.

Never - cos he got it 'right' from the start !

A couple of years ago I got £10 each for 100Ah and £20 for 230Ah batteries (and that was the 'collected' price')
