Gads, when I replaced my battery I just stuck my thin hands down alongside
and then cried as I did the world's most non-ergonomic lift (and as my
hands scccccraped the sides of the compartment.)  So before I put the new
sucker in (it didn't have a handle) I got some nylon webbing at the fabric
store and made a harness for the d*&% thing so that the next time it has to
come out I don't have 2 arms in a sling!
