    For people who moan at Ben and say that he should sell this stuff.... I am not sure about Oz but in the UK I know that companies don't buy second hand stuff from scrap dealers. They buy brand new as it includes a warranty, comes with technical support included and it can go through the business accounts. If a company bought second hand PCs, servers and UPS units, they could lose everything if there is a fault. It is frustrating when you find things that cost £10000 new and is only worth scrap value now, that is just how it is.

    What a fun scrap! If it'd be possible to easily sell this one on the company would've surely done that (probably tried for a couple of months to do just that). So don't sweat it. With your work all the materials rejoin the circle! Great job Ben! 😇

    Hi Ben, shame it had to be taken apart but with the batteries selling for around £20 new, the cable and switch assembly probably in the £200-£300 range and each of the individual choke of a similar type at around £50 second hand, you should be on to a nice earner, if you can sell them.

    A transformer has 2 coils, a choke has only one coil, it is used for managing the current flow or blocking AC while passing DC, for the scrapyard there is no difference between chokes and transformers.

    We paid $15,000 USD for those exact eaton units. Would have definitely been smarter to figure out a way to keep that unit whole. Even used they go for around 8k with old batteries. Even if you would have had to hire help to move it it would have been a good payday. Now it's just scrap and the little bit you can get for the batteries which aint much.

    Use the van ben, some pieces of lumber screwed into the floor of your van... and slowly reverse would have got it upright
