      To drop the battery, I'm assuming I'll need to get some sort of jack/lift and have the Leaf up on jack stands for clearance.
      
      A few options I've been looking at:

   Tools; transmission jack vs hydraulic table lift vs motorcycle jack for motor and battery boxes?

      I'm wondering, which is the most versatile for EV conversion stuff?

      I'll also be using this for transmission r&r on my two gas cars, but the table can actually double up for that if I remove the vertical handle bar thing, vertical height becomes a concern though, if my ranger quickjacks can get the car high enough to clear it etc
      
      The transmission jack is the most directly purposeful, but I'd be very worried trying to jack up the 300lb rear battery box using that due to imbalance, although I can weld up some kind of flat table attachment for the jack, maybe
      
      Has anyone here used more than one and recommends one kind in particular?
