Here's the set up, 4 nice Deka GC batteries in a nice battery box from Dyno, two questions, the first on an easy way to lift the batteries from the box and the second how to deal with a crowded battery terminal.
The batteries sit on a shelf that is about 3 feet from the top of the locker. I have a device to lift the batteries out of the box, but it is nearing its end of life. It is a rubber strap (like a heavy duty rubber tie down cord) with hooks that slip into holes on the top of the battery case. Because the rubber is getting stretched out and weaker, I want to replace this with a longer lasting and suitable lifting device. Any suggestions?
Second, the negative terminal is getting a bit crowded. On the terminal are 6 connectors, 1 from the battery to the negative bus bar, 1 as part of the parallel wiring, 1 from the charger's temp sensor, 1 from the external regulator sensor, 1 from the Smart Gauge voltage sensor, and 1 from the regulator voltage sensor. The problem is the lack of threads to tighten the connections. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
