Installation manual

7.2.4. Battery installation example 2

This example provides excellent mechanical protection for

batteries and ensures safe seismic restraint.

Ventilation slots at ground level on the front and at the top of

the lid behind the hinge provide through flow ventilation so

any hydrogen gas produced can rise easily up and away from

the batteries.

Ideally the lid should be slanted to prevent incidental use of

the lid as a shelf. (Objects will slide off).The use of a child

proof catch and signage on the outside (top) of the lid is also

required.

7.2.5. Battery installation example 3

This example inside a shipping container

provides excellent mechanical protection for

batteries and ensures safe seismic restraint.

Note:

 Safety signs

 Fire extinguisher

 Battery maintenance kit

 Battery top up water

 Seismic restraints

Large ventilation grates at ground level and at the top of the

container provide through flow ventilation.

Heavy container doors are locked ensuring no unauthorized

access.
