One word for moving HUPs or hawkers, etc: ENGINE HOIST!

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:

What about the 2 volt L-16 versions? Has anyone had success with them for larger banks? I work alone and HUPs are too heavy to lift on my own... however 24, L-16's in one series string would be a hell of a battery bank too.
