[RE-wrenches] Discover AES Wall Mount Considerations

[Chris Sparadeo]

Thanks Jason,

I’m still wondering if there is an IBC reference for weight. The Discover
manual only states:

“ For structural and seismic stability, the AES Battery must be mounted
onto a vertical supporting surface strong enough to support a minimum of
227 kg (500 lbs) per battery. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or serious injury.”

Other than asking a structural engineer, how can I be sure that the wall is
rated to 4,500 lbs?
