After I had him carry a dozen cells up a flight of stairs
(and the old ones back down) he started laughing a bit less

I really rubbed it in a bit and told him that I was the one who
installed
them originally
about 5 years before!

I realised I was getting on when I started ripping out equipment that was
state of the art 8-10 years ago when I first installed it, and replacing
it
with kit that was a fraction of the size (

Heck my heavy lifting ended about 6 years ago when I had knee surgery

I just get contractors to do it )




Though the electronics has changed quite a bit in the 32 years I've been in
the battery business...
and there have even been some changes in the batteries too...
Lead is lead...and it's heavy!
