The Marine 5/4 and 10/8 models are fitted with handles for lifting the battery manually
[12]. The larger models are fitted with eye bolts to enable slinging the batteries. A metal
bar can also be placed through the eye bolts for carrying manually by four or more people.
A clear lens cover is provided to prevent moisture entering the battery through the breaker
area [13].
All LiTE Marine models have plastic feet (one on each corner) as standard [14].
A warranty seal is fixed to the lid of the battery to prevent unauthorized removal of the lid.
Damage to this seal will void the battery warranty.

Transport, Handling and Mounting
The Freedom LiTE Marine units are packaged in protective foam inside a wooden crate with
pallet type feed which allows for easy lifting with a forklift or pallet jack. The Freedom LiTE
Marine 5/4 and 10/8 models are easily lifted by two people. The 20/16 model may be
manually handled by sufficient people but is best handled by a pallet jack or forklift. The
30/24 model must be handled with care by a forklift or pallet jack. A lite crane will be
required for lowering this model below deck through a hatch.
For small boats with restricted access the 10/8 would typically be the largest option.
Multiples of this model can be connected in parallel to provide the required storage
capacity.
