Ordered a direct replacement battery for my 1200RT, on disconnecting all cables and strap, I found it awkward to get a good grip on the battery to safely remove it, (it still showed 12.8V) an old bungee cord with both plastic covered hooks was hanging up on the garage wall, used a hook into each battery post, holding a hook in each hand and out it came, same for re-installing the new battery, no chance of ‘shorting’ anything. Hope it’s helpful to someone. Stay safe 👍😃
 
A small cable tie through each terminal screw hole makes for a pair of finger loops to help ease the battery out.

Cut through the tail, and not the head - you can use them again to install the new battery.
