Friends:

Ten or more years ago, I installed two banks of IBE steel jacketed 2 volt 
cells.  Fortunately, they were showing reduced capacity when half of them 
were tipped over in the San Simeon earthquake.  Electrolyte spilled on the 
concrete and caused a big mess.

We removed the old batteries, neutralized the acid. vacuumed up the mess 
and installed new batteries.  This time we installed earthquake 
restraints.  They were not touted as "engineered" but rather as stoutly 
designed.

Here is after the earthquake, right after we waded in and righted the 
batteries:

And after everything was cleaned up and new batteries installed:

Note the uni-strut braces.  These tie via all thread to similar struts 
lagged to the wall.
