Abstract
A lead-acid battery includes a handle assembly coupled to a polymer packaging of the battery. The handle assembly includes a woven fabric strap capable of laying substantially flat over a cover of the battery when the handle assembly is not in use. The handle assembly includes a first tab overmolded about a first end of the woven fabric strap, wherein the first tab is loaded into a first slot inset into a first end portion of the polymer packaging of the battery. The handle assembly also includes a second tab overmolded about a second end of the woven fabric strap, wherein the second tab is loaded into a second slot inset into a second end portion of the polymer packaging of the battery, and wherein a length of the first and second tabs is at least twice a width of the woven fabric strap.
