The BCM/MCM and their bracket probably add another few pounds, but yeah.

Yeah, they add a bit. I weighed the "entire" package (pack, BCM and MCM) at 73 pounds with my bathroom scales. so the entire package is 73 pounds plus/minus your feelings about bathroom scale accuracy. I used a hydraulic arm type engine hoist and that approach works great if you have it. Gotta drive LR onto a ramp and remove RR tire for hoist clearance.
Lifting the pack out alone is a receipt for a back injury or a damaged terminal board.

That's why our instructions have a helper in the front seat lift the pack at that end while the person behind the car (or on the side of the car) lifts and pulls toward the rear of the car. Then it's a dead lift out, but it's at a good angle.

We don't ship with a BCM or MCM and our instructions have those parts removed from the battery before the battery is lifted out of the car, so I can only tell you the battery weight.

Thats because you are useing your stomach muscle, because your arms are extended while lifting. Crawl inside the trunk area and use your arms muscles.
