[RE-wrenches] Battery Racks

[Allan Sindelar]

Kirpal,

Keep in mind variations in upper- and lower-bank temperatures from ambient
heat stratification if the batteries are in an indoor space. This affects
relative SOC among strings, affecting string life.

Hi All.....anyone have any experience with battery racking systems for big
banks of flooded lead acid batteries?  Typically we don't like to stack
flooded batteries but we may not have space for as big of a bank as we need
if we don't stack......Any one know of a company that engineers racks that
are seismically sound, have the ability to have spill containment all while
maintaining some accessibility?  I know DPW makes battery racks but looking
at their web site they are typically smaller than what we need.....
We need to support roughly 7000lbs.....and are exploring if this is even
doable....
Cheers and thanks!
