[RE-wrenches] battery cycle life, US Battery

[Ray Walters]

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:
