The Epoch GC2 Battery Lifting Strap is a simple battery lifter and carrier strap for safer golf cart, RV and deep-cycle battery handling. Removing 60 to 70 lb lead-acid batteries from cramped golf cart trays, RV compartments and deep-cycle battery boxes can be rough on your back, hands and battery cables.
This strap gives DIYers, mechanics and RV owners a safer way to lift compatible GC2 batteries straight up from the top, helping prevent dropped batteries, pinched fingers and awkward side-grip lifting. It is especially useful when pulling an old lead-acid bank before installing lightweight Epoch lithium batteries.
Key Features
-
Purpose-built for GC2 batteries: Bracket-style ends engage the molded lifting tabs found on many standard GC2 golf cart and RV deep-cycle batteries, giving a secure top-lift point when the battery case is compatible.
-
Heavy-duty, slip-resistant grip: Dropping a lead-acid battery can damage the case, cables, tray or surrounding equipment. A dedicated carrying handle keeps tension centered and controlled while lifting.
-
Protects hands and fingers: A top-lift strap keeps fingers away from pinch points between neighboring batteries, tray walls, hold-down brackets and cable hardware.
-
Effortless golf cart upgrades: Upgrading a 48V cart can mean hauling out six heavy 8V batteries before installing a lithium kit. The strap helps clear the old bank more safely and with less strain.
-
Easy RV compartment access: RV batteries are often tucked deep inside tongue boxes, step wells or side compartments. A top-lift carrier gives you leverage to lift straight up without scraping hands or fighting the tray walls.

-
Compact shop accessory: Small enough to keep in a tool drawer, service van, golf cart shop or RV maintenance kit.
-
Lead-acid swap support: A smart add-on when upgrading to lightweight Epoch lithium batteries, because the old battery bank still has to come out first.
Save Your Back: The Essential Battery Removal Tool
Make routine maintenance, RV battery swaps and lithium golf cart upgrades easier.
Whether you are replacing worn-out golf cart batteries, pulling RV house batteries for service, or upgrading a cart to lithium, a safe battery removal tool makes the job faster and less painful. This GC2 battery lifting strap turns an awkward two-handed side grip into a controlled top lift.
The strap is especially useful when removing old lead-acid batteries before installing lightweight Epoch lithium batteries. Even if your new lithium battery is easier to handle, the old GC2 bank still has to come out first.

Upgrading to Lithium?
The old batteries still need to come out first. Epoch lithium batteries are lighter, cleaner and easier to live with than old lead-acid banks, but a safe removal tool makes the first step of the conversion much easier. Add this strap to your golf cart, RV or shop kit so you are ready when the lead-acid bank comes out.

What is a GC2 battery, and will this strap fit it?
GC2 is a common deep-cycle battery form factor used in many golf carts, RV house-battery banks, floor scrubbers, scissor lifts and solar banks. This strap is intended for batteries with standard molded lifting tabs on the top edges. If your battery has those molded tabs, the strap brackets are designed to clip onto them for safer lifting.
Do I need this strap if I am buying a lightweight Epoch lithium battery?
Yes, it is still a smart add-on. Even if your new Epoch lithium battery is much lighter and easier to handle, you still need to remove the old lead-acid batteries first. Traditional GC2 lead-acid batteries can be heavy and awkward to remove from tight trays, so a battery carrier strap helps protect your back, hands and battery compartment during the swap.
How does the battery lifting strap attach?
The strap uses two purpose-built brackets that hook onto the molded lifting tabs on compatible GC2 batteries. Slide the brackets onto the tabs, center the strap, and lift straight up with controlled tension. Always confirm both brackets are fully seated before lifting.
Can I use this strap on a standard car battery?
Usually, no. Most standard automotive starting batteries do not have the GC2-style molded lifting tabs this strap requires. It is purpose-built for deep-cycle GC2-style batteries commonly used in golf carts, RVs, floor sweepers, scissor lifts and similar equipment.
Is the strap strong enough to lift a 70 lb battery?
This strap is built for the heavy deep-cycle GC2 batteries typically found in golf carts and RVs. Always inspect the strap, brackets and battery tabs before each lift. Do not use the strap on cracked, damaged, swollen, leaking or non-compatible batteries.
Can one person remove golf cart batteries with this strap?
Many battery swaps become much easier with a strap because it lets you lift straight up from above the battery instead of pinching the sides in a cramped tray. However, battery weight, tray depth, body position and user strength vary, so use a second person whenever the battery feels unsafe to handle alone.
Will this help with RV battery compartments?
Yes. RV house batteries are often tucked into tongue boxes, step wells or tight side compartments. A battery carrying handle gives you more leverage and helps keep your fingers away from pinch points when lifting compatible GC2 batteries out of deep compartments.
Can I use this on lithium batteries too?
Only if the lithium battery has compatible GC2-style molded lifting tabs that securely engage with the strap brackets. Many lithium batteries are lighter and may use different case designs, so always verify case compatibility before lifting.
