To get my battery out of it's submerged box I made two straps from an old seat belt.
Just cut a length of belt about 2 or 3 feet long (you need just enough length to go around the battery and overlap by about 4 to 6 inches) then stitch the ends together using 3 or 4 rows of strong thread
Do it again and you will have two strong light and thin straps to lift your battery in and out.
