As far as Lifeline's go the 31 commonly can replace group 24 or 27 batteries. Without real data it's hard to compare the Lifeline with other brands, other than claims the Lifeline has those .105" plates. And can safely accept C5 charging.
I'd love to figure out a simple rope cradle for these batteries that allows a full on grip to aid handling. Don't know which fibers like aramid kevlar and spectra would be the best.
None of the above, as a lifelong small boat sailor and racer, I can assure you that none of those is not going to be effective.
When last I bought (about two years ago), Lifeline 27 & 31 both had lifting handles. Both were manageable, even by an old guy....
The 4 & 8Ds also have handles, but when lifting them with a hoist, (like a mainsail halyard) it is a good idea to have a spreader as the handles are all the way at both ends.
