Finding the battery a little heavy to lift out as I get older

This is a serious post. I too have the same problem, if the battery needs charging due to lack of use I have to ask my grandson to come over and help, I cannot lift and carry the battery from the car park and about 100 yards down to my house. Old age!

Must admit making one out of a none conductive material such as an old belt did cross my mind
