When pulling the dead battery, who cares, but no way should any strap lift
and hold a new battery as you put it in. Damage the internals connections
of the battery, and you will be pulling it out again real soon. Just
because someone makes it, doesn't mean its a good idea. Just look at
Microsoft.......

I like the idea of using a sling as mentioned.
