I'll be very interested to hear if anyone has any ideas on removing the coach batteries in an Era. I needed to disconnect them when replacing the battery mode solenoid (located under the passenger seat in our 2016 Era 70A) and couldn't figure out how to do so. We were able to loosen the bolts holding the batteries in place but could see no good way to lower them and also couldn't tell how long the cables were.
We eventually made a wood platform to hold a battery and bolted that to an old floor jack. We were able to lower a battery about 1/3 of the way to the ground, but still couldn't see how much slack there was in the battery cables or how to disconnect them easily and safely.
We finally gave up, put the coach battery back in place, bolted it in and changed out the solenoid with the house batteries still connected (and the chassis battery disconnected). Not something I would like to do again.
I gather the coach batteries are somewhere in the 70-pound range each. At my age there is no way I can manhandle the batteries in and out laying on the ground under the Era. I'm assuming we will have to pay someone to change them out when the time comes.
