I have an old pair of commercial PVC rain gear bibs I use for L16s and smaller.. especially the slimy old nasty ones. I've had to disassemble HUPs and waltz them thru the house, but I agree, they're not that bad.. slow and steady is the best approach. And yes, the things I use to just throw around now seem to catch me off balance more than they used to. I'm blaming it on these shoes. db

My favorite "technique" is getting the customer to take one of the two handles while I take the other... but in a pinch, yes... I carefully life these alone. They do seem to get heavier as I get older... lolToddTodd:
There are techniques for lifting heavy batteries. We use creative ramping, hand trucks, slide plates, rollers, a winch, palette jacks and various techniques to prevent back strain. With a little creative thinking you can move heavy stuff without too much strain.

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.
