Carrier for installing and removing storage batteries from confined spaces

A storage battery carrier for installing and removing a storage battery from a confined cramped space comprising:

• (a) a carrier handle;
• (b) a first elongated member coupled to a right hand portion of said carrier handle;
• (c) a second elongated member coupled to a left hand portion of said carrier handle having a hole in the second elongated member;
• (d) a coupler for rotatably coupling the first and second elongated members together;
• (e) a first thin substantially flat clasping member rigidly coupled to a left hand terminal portion of the first elongated member;
• (f) a second thin substantially flat clasping member rigidly coupled to a right hand terminal portion of the second elongated member;
• and
• (g) wherein the first and second thin substantially flat clasping members have a thickness that is less than one quarter of an inch, enabling the carrier to easily install and remove batteries from very cramped confined spaces.

A method of installing and removing a storage battery from a confined cramped space comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a storage battery carrier having
• (a-1) a carrier handle;
• (a-2) a first elongated member coupled to a right hand portion of said carrier handle;
• (a-3) a second elongated member coupled to a left hand portion of said carrier handle having a hole in the second elongated member;
• (a-4) a coupler for rotatably coupling the first and second elongated members together;
• (a-5) a first thin substantially flat clasping member rigidly coupled to a left hand terminal portion of the first elongated member;
• (a-6) a second thin substantially flat clasping member rigidly coupled to a right hand terminal portion of the second elongated member;
• and
• (a-7) wherein the first and second substantially flat clasping members have a thickness of a quarter of an inch or less, enabling the carrier to install and remove batteries from very cramped confined spaces;
• (b) rotating the first and second clasping members with respect to each other until the first and second elongated members are aligned with each other over the top of the storage battery and the first and second clasping members are substantially parallel to the sides of the storage battery;
• and
• (c) grasping and lifting the handle for causing the first and second clasping members to tightly grip the sides of the storage battery and for causing the storage battery to be lifted out of said confined space.
