dmc:
Tip it up on one corner until you can get a hand under it.  Or, tip it and
loop a line around it.  Or, buy a battery carrier (a couple of different
styles are available everywhere).  Or, attach terminal connectors to the
posts and affix the ends of a short length of (nonconductive!) line to each.
Or, probably the least troublesome, buddy up with a mook.

The seats are likely being jammed by some carpeting beside the battery
compartment lid bunching up.
