It\u2019s going away, primarily because she wants a mini split and her inverter is too small at this point.<br>
<br>
She has of course a abosolyte battery, 6 cells per stack. <br>
I don\u2019t know if they will slide out or not.<br>
<br>
But just thought I\u2019d ask if anyone has any tricks.<br>
Oh and no it\u2019s in a side room, no way to get any heavy equipment in there, and each stack is about 600#<br>
<br>
Maybe I could get an engine hoist in there, but outside the door is dirt and gravel and its a long ways to where I can put the trailer. <br>
I am anticipating having to remove the cells to deal with it. <br>
Cutting it apart with a right angle grinder is about the only trick I know. But I\u2019m guessing there are others.<br>
<br>
Fortunately I can install the new equipment on the other wall so I don\u2019t need to get the batteries out quickly.<br>
<br>
thanks in advance<br>
