Just a little FYI for those who don't want to visit their chiropractor after replacing golf cart batteries. The 6-volt golf cart batteries I bought did not come with built-in handles, making them a real pain to carry and move around. They do have?two lifting 'eyes' on the top across from each terminal. Most of the battery carrying devices that I found either attached to the terminals or would clamp onto the exterior sides. I did not want the ones that attached to the terminals as that doesn't seem like a real good idea and I'm just not sure I trust the other type for carrying batteries around docks. Luckily I found a strap with hooks on each end that will attach to the lifting eyes and work perfectly?for these type of batteries. Interstate Battery Stores carry?them for $ 8.95.

I just use a six foot length of small nylon cord, doubled, then redoubled, (quadrupled?) and tie a figure eight knot in one end. Then pass the unknotted end through one eye, across the top of the battery through the other eye and then tie it off as tight or lose as you'd like with the knot of your choice. With four parts across the top of the battery, it is easy on the hands. Costs about $0.25! It doesn't lighten the battery, but it makes lifting them manageable. <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina MV Sanderling Patrick Air Force Base DeFever 41 Trawler Melbourne, Florida On 4/29/2008 12:35 PM, tbehan6468@aol.com wrote: > Just a little FYI for those who don't want to visit their chiropractor after replacing golf cart batteries.
