I used this simple hack to remove the battery from the downtube when the bike is turned upside down on the bars. The set screws shown in pics are the extended length screws used to attach the socket front to a plastic cavity wall backbox
They screw directly into the brass blind screw holes and enable you to get a good hold so as to remove and install the battery......simple. The thread is M3.5.

You could drill a couple of holes in a piece bar to form a handle of sorts then you get even more support when removing or installing the battery ?

I don't have a Whyte, but that looks like a great idea. :)
I wonder what the bike mechanics use?

I have seen car mechanics use something very similar to pull radios from the dashboard.

Nice idea, how do you protect the Purion Unit ? Just loosen and move or do you have another method ?

I store my bike (E150RS) upright with a hook system for the front wheel. This places the down tube at the perfect angle for the battery to just slide out and is also really easy to put back in as everything is at waist height. The screw idea is a great hack - cheers!
