Mounting

To assemble the integrated battery rack:

1. Install four ½” studs into the mounting surface (concrete or a similarly reinforced materia

l).

From the front

to the back, the stud centers should be spaced 19” (48.3 cm) ap

art.

Spacing

from left to right should be 25” (63.5 cm) ap

art.

. Lower the battery rack over the four studs and settle the rack in place.

Alternately, ½” bolts can be inserted through the mounting holes into prepared openings.

3. Secure the studs or bolts with nuts or appropriate hardware. Anchor the rack ac

cording

to local buildin

g codes.

4. Load all batteries into the rack. Load the bottom shelf first to prevent balancing

issues.

IMPORTANT

The battery rack must be mounted on a level surface.

NOTE

Slots are available under the front edge

of each shelf for strapping the batteries

down if necessary.

Wiring

Ensure all circuit breakers or switches are turned off before proceeding. These should turned on

only when wiring is complete.

Batteries should be connected in series as appropriate to meet the system voltage requirements.

(Lithium-ion batteries are not usually connected in series.) Batteries installed in series are

usually equipped with interconnect bars. In the images to the right, these bars are represented

by orange jumpers.

All IBR models are equipped with cables for each shelf (positive on the right, negative on the left).

(Lithium-ion IBR models are equipped with cables for individual batteries.) Each positive (red) cable

is connected to a 175-amp circuit breaker that protects the cables on that shelf. The cables (and

circuit breakers) lead to separate positive and negative bus plates. These are attached to each side

of the rack. For clarity, the illustrations to the right depict these plates apart from the rack .

Shunts may be installed if required. Before proceeding, follow the shunt instructions on the back page.

Follow all wiring instructions in the battery manual. Make certain to use the recommended torque

values. Do not install terminal hardware in a different order than shown by the battery instructions.
