[RE-wrenches] Discover AES Battery Rack Options

[Michael Morningstar]

We almost always use the AES brackets. Often mounted to strut. You want
access to the on/off button, so some exposed conductor is inevitable. We
have also fabricated shelves for them to sit on. For 2 or more batteries in
multiples of two, we stack them so that the bottom battery has its
terminals facing up, and the top battery with terminals facing down. With
large banks, like the one we are currently building with we placed both a
10" X 10" X 20' long gutter with 3/8" x 4" bussbars running the entire
length, and for comms (2) 2.5" X 2.5" x 20" gutters(top and bottom) between
the upper and lower stacks of batteries. Cables wrap back and into the back
of the gutters. It's very clean. In a few instances, we have left the
batteries sitting on the pallet bases they shipped on when budgets are
super tight or no wall space is available.
