Battery Housings
Battery housings should provide at least 150mm / 6 inches of
free space above top terminal batteries for installation and
maintenance access.
Telecom Batteries
SBS batteries usually are installed on shelves or in cabinets
supplied by the equipment manufacturer.
If the equipment does not include the battery housing,
Enersys can provide a variety of shelves and racks.
Consult a Enersys representative for details.
Racks
For higher voltage battery strings, a variety of stepped and
tiered racks are available. Rack length can be customised for
specific battery layouts. Consult a Enersys representative for
details.
■ Non-seismic - Racks, shelves and cabinets must be
assembled and installed in accordance with the
instructions provided with the equipment.
■ Seismic - Because of the variations in building design and
construction materials and methods, it is the responsibility
of the battery installer to ensure seismic battery housings
are anchored to the floor with the appropriate type and
size of anchor bolts and in accordance with applicable
building codes.
The completed battery and housing assembly and anchoring
method must provide for a self supporting structure that can
withstand overturning moments caused by earthquakes
without auxiliary support or bracing.

Earthing
Batteries and housings can be earthed or isolated.
The earthing or isolation materials and methods will depend
on the application, voltage, location and type of battery
housing.
The system specification should include the most appropriate
combination of earthing and isolation methods for the safety
of the installation, operation and maintenance personnel,
system integrity and compliance with applicable building and
safety codes.
It is the responsibility of the battery installer to ensure that
the battery and housing is earthed or isolated in compliance
with the system specification.
