5. Attach the interconnect bars to place the
batteries in series. Batteries should be
connected in series as appropriate to
meet the system voltage requirements.
Follow all instructions in the battery
manual and use the recommended
torque values. Install hardware in the
order shown in Figure 5. Do not install
hardware in a different order than
shown unless specified by the battery
manual or instructions.

To assemble the integrated battery rack:
1. Install four ½” studs into the mounting surface (concrete or a
similarly reinforced material). From the front to the back, the stud
centers should be spaced 19” (48.3 cm) apart, as shown in Figure 3.
Spacing from left to right should be 25” (63.5 cm) apart.
2. Lower the battery rack over the four studs as shown in Figure 3 and
settle the rack in place.
Alternately, ½” bolts can be inserted through the mounting holes
into prepared openings.
IMPORTANT: The battery rack must be mounted on a level surface.

NOTE: Slots are present under the
front edge of each shelf for strapping
the batteries down if necessary.
6. The rack is equipped with cables for each shelf (positive on the right,
negative on the left). Connect each cable to the appropriate side of
each battery string. The cables lead to separate buses on each side of
the rack that place each string in parallel. (See Figure 7.)
Each positive (red) cable is connected to a 175-amp circuit breaker
which protects the batteries on that shelf.
