Default Tech tip
If you take a 3-4" wide piece of inner tube from a 16" wheel and put it on the battery it gives you a handle to get a hold of the battery to either take it out or put it in easier.

It's tight but doable.

I am glad to see him use them this way. There were other possibilities that seemed unnatural.

I just put 2 zip ties thru the posts and use them as handles when I'm ready to remove the battery.
