A battery lifting and carrying device comprising a rigid handle of dielectric material supporting twin parallel "U" springs inversely positioned and spacedly located within said handle, vertically over two filling wells of said battery, the open ends of said inverted U springs being opposably bent at right angles to said handle to springably enter the filling well and lock under the lower wall of the well when U spring pressure is released.

A battery handle assembly including an improved handle strap and a strap-support assembly for a storage battery which cooperatively enable the handle strap to be selectively and quickly attached to or detached from the battery's case and which facilitate the stable transport of the battery.

A detachable plastic carrying handle having a non-circular aperture at each end which is aligned and snapped over the non-circular head of a post integrally formed on each end of a plastic battery casing and the handle is then rotated upward to cause non-alignment of the aperture and head.

An assembly for removably attaching a battery handle to an electric storage battery is provided. The assembly comprises a pair of channels and a pair of projecting members slidably engageable with the channels, wherein (a) the channels are disposed on the battery casing and the projecting members are disposed on the battery handle, or vice versa, (b) the channels have an open end adapted to allow passage of the projecting members into and out of the interior of the channel, (c) the assembly comprises means for limiting the travel of the projecting members through the interior of the channels such that the projecting members are unable to pass through the other end of the channels, and (d) the channels and projecting members are disposed such that the handle may be attached and detached to the casing by slidably inserting and withdrawing the projecting members from the interior of the channels through its open ends and when the projecting members are disposed in the interior of the channels and the battery is lifted by said handle, the projecting members are urged against the travel limiting means.

A removable battery handle and battery casing coupling structure wherein the handle is relatively rigid and includes a central portion, and two downwardly depending arms, the distal ends of the arms each including an attachment button which is supported on the inside surface of the distal end by a shaft, the button being received by a keyhole-shaped aperture in the battery casing end wall, which offers resistance as the shaft moves from the lower, larger portion to the upper, smaller portion of the aperture such that when the shaft is disposed in the upper, smaller portion, the handle is locked to the casing.
