Subject: battery removalAll 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
