All of this talk about batterys got me to thinking about how I solve the removal problem. You could get one of those fancy battery straps, but they never seem high on the priority list. You could only batterys that have a built in handle, but I have never seen them in group 41. Or, you can do as I have done: when I first put one in, I wrap about 10 wraps of reinforced freezer tape around the battery. I put a wooden block on top when I start the wrap to get clearance and when I'm done, I remove the block. That gives me a reliable "strap" that is always there when I need it. Have never had one fail when I used enough of the tape. Acid dosen't seem to affect the fiberglas type tape. Mark
