Battery guide For PowerSpout

Battery installation example 1
Here each battery is in a separate battery case.
Each case provides ventilation and prevents
accidental contact with the terminals.

Note the very clear safety warnings making it
obvious what is inside the boxes.
Access for servicing is straightforward.

Battery installation example 2
This example provides excellent mechanical protection
for batteries and ensures safe seismic restraint.

Ventilation slots at ground level on the front and at the
top of the lid behind the hinge provide through flow
ventilation so any hydrogen gas produced can rise
easily up and away from the batteries.

Ideally the lid should be slanted to prevent incidental
use of the lid as a shelf. (Objects will slide off). The use
of a childproof catch and signage on the outside (top)
of the lid is also required.

Battery installation example 3
This example inside a shipping
container provides excellent
mechanical protection for
batteries and ensures safe seismic
restraint. Note:

 Safety signs
 Fire extinguisher
 Battery maintenance kit
 Battery top up water
 Seismic restraints

Large ventilation grates at ground level and at the
top of the container provide through flow
ventilation.

Heavy container doors are locked ensuring no
unauthorized access.
