Kings Batteries


Very entertaining guys.
I never said "final" report. I understand that the insurer paid on the basis of the interim report from the firies.
The insurance paid the insured value of $70,000 on (or about) 30/12/25 and offered the owner the "repairable write-off: for $8,000, which he rejected. The value of the contents insured has not yet been settled.
The vehicle will now be auctioned by Pickles, but I don't know if it went to Sydney or Brisbane.

Below is part of that same pic I posted earlier.
Those cables are not wiring from the battery, they are (were) internal. There is a significant piece missing from that end of the battery.

The red "bucket" is the lid of the firies 60L hazmat container it was put into. Buckets don't usually have an O ring sealer in the bottom.

This is a piece of another pic taken before the battery was removed from the vehicle.

I have been trying to get a copy of the firies report, but I am told that KT, the insurer, paid for it and therefore own it so it is not available. Seems strange.
Cheers,
Peter
