Pete as the forklift batteries are so heavy all I did was use some 1" diameter black bar to move the battery around, I used 8 of them and as one became free it went under the front. Now when I need to change direction I just angle the forward bar and it is easy to slide the battery sideways on the rods.
When the battery is in position the rods under stay there for the next time it needs to move.
The main thing I like about these batteries one can know the state of charge by just checking the SG and when charging via a genset the SG rises once the batteries hit 29 volts then after around an hour of the soakage charge does finish off the charge.
The batteries also have a auto watering system which makes it easy to keep the levels right and basically once it's setup it's there for long time of service.
