My question is WHY do folks still install these steel cased Pain
the A*& BBs when we have 2 volt cells
(UnigiII/Surrette/Crown)that have up to 2400AH @20hr rate and are
easily moved by hand, fork truck, shovel! 2 volt cells is always
the way to go.<br class="">

I just did that a month ago, and it went amazingly
smoothly. Earlier, on a similar HUP replacement, I
told the (absentee) client that I would rent an
engine hoist to lift the cells out of the steel
cases, and he advised me that it would cost him
less labor and travel if I bought one of the
Chinese engine hoists from Harbor Freight for $90
and just kept it. Turned out to be a good
application for CCC (thanks, Bob-O). A concrete
floor, the engine hoist, a simple hand truck and a
strong assistant to share the load made light work
of both removal and installation - all 4,000
pounds of it, one 200 lb. cell at a time... so I
went dancing that evening. <br class="">
