Default Battery replacement - is there a way to do it?

I had to replace the battery again today (I had 3 Yuassa batteries under their 5-year guarantee) and, boy, is that a pain! I always end up trapping the positive cable at the side of the battery, and it won’t come out. So the battery has to come out to try again. This time, I got SWMBO to hold the positive cable aside with a thin piece of wood whilst she sat in the boo! And that finally worked!

Who on earth designed this stupid location for the battery - just another inch on the battery compartment would make it so much easier.

Or is there a way of doing this that I’m too daft to have discovered?
