Re: pic: installed battery team 842

Ok, I will join in the frey. We have used this method minus the glued on assist handle for the past two years and always made it past inspection. If need be we can change the design in minutes as per judges request. As far as the glue, it is plumbers goop, or shoe goo. It won't come off, we have to work to get it off. The handle is only used to get the battery moving in a verticle direction. One hand is around the back end and the other is on the handle to just disengage the anderson. Once disengaged, the battery itself is handled with both hands. When installing the battery, the handle is used to guide the andersons into each other. The fiberglass, on the other hand, really threw you. Totally safe there! Any way when I started to enter this reply I was just going to say
"Na ah, we used super duper goop!"
