Abstract
An electric storage battery is disclosed which includes a handle which can be locked in an upright position, such as for installation of the battery into a vehicle by robotics, yet where the handle can be then readily moved to a service position alongside the battery after installation into a vehicle, the container including a button and shaft for connection to apertures formed in the arms of the handle which provide an upright position and a service position, and locking in the upright position is achieved by a locking tongue formed on the container button which rests in a locking groove formed between locking tabs on the handle arms.
