Abstract: A battery lift handle which has a `U`-shaped rigid hand grip, a lift cord extending from the base of one of the legs of the hand grip and terminates at its other end in a head, the second leg having three slots, the uppermost slot opening to one side of the second leg, the lowermost slot extending upwardly from the base and opening to the other side of the second leg, and the intermediate slot extending laterally, so that the cord head can be inserted in the second leg very quickly by a single hand action of positioning the head into the upper slot, pulling the cord through the intermediate slot and then downwardly through the lowermost slot.
