HI Ron;
We just use a big wheeled 2 wheel dolly for moving the Rolls, and L16s,
etc. We build little ramps etc for up and down stairs, take doors off
hinges, whatever we have to do to make the move safer, and do less
damage to the house. THe key is planning, prep, and then moving slowly
and cooperatively as a team (like ants)
I've moved HUPs right through $300/ sq ft living rooms, and we've never
done any noticeable damage, and more importantly never had any of my
crew hurt.

Hey Ray I like your dolly! I could use something like that to move the
big Surrette/Rolls batteries. Not nearly as big as a HUP but at 300+
lbs can be a little hefty.

Todd;
I haven't tried the 2v L16s, because they were rated the same cycle
life. (I could be wrong?)
Are you really moving L16s by yourself? I've done it, but its soo bad
for your back. I made several tools for moving the HUPs, one is a
frame and block and tackle for pulling the separate cells out (weigh
less than an L16) and I made a 4 wheeled dolly that can roll a HUP
right off a trailer, through a 30" door, and into the room.
I don't know of anyone that could move a HUP themselves (the smallest
are 742 lb). My favorite is to use a bobcat or forklift, and just set
them in place. Here's a pic of our carrier, hopefully its small
enough to post:
