Batteries weigh big time esp lorry ones, which contain copper and lead

Yeah quite a feat doing 70 trucks!, its a MOT station for trucks and the same place also owns another truck related company next door, both were hit. their is a pikey site right next to it too 

pikey site next door enough said 
Lets hope some acid got on there skin and they didn't wash it for a few days

on some of he agricutural kit we secure the batterys with a coouple of welded on straps of 75mmx10mm steel,   the only way to get them out is to cut the weld off the ends so the strap can be pulled up and battery removed in normal way,   makes changing batterys a PITA but drasticly reduces need for new batterys,  as the cheepest ones we use are nearly £200 it's worth the bother esp as most kit has 2 batterys
