6.5 Module Installation
msEndur II battery systems are typically shipped with the cells pre-installed into the modules for ease of
transportation and installation. In some cases it may be necessary to have the cells shipped separately,
or to remove the cells from the modules prior to installation.
It is essential and the responsibility of the customer/installer to be properly trained and have suitable
equipment to handle these heavy products. It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to provide a
room properly designed for a battery system, including appropriate ventilation, aisle space, egress, floor
load capabilities and a level mounting surface.
6.5.1 Installation of Modules and Cells Together
1) Floor anchoring is required for a safe installation. Mark the
location and install floor anchors, matching the anchor
holes in the floor-mounting base.
2) Install the floor-mounting base. Depending on the system
configuration and handling capabilities, the mounting
base may already be assembled with stacked modules.
See Figure 6-1
a) Floor mounting base alone: Lift the mounting base and
place it in the designated area over the floor anchors.
b) Floor mounting base assembled with stack modules:
Assemblies up to four (4) tiers may be carefully
moved assembled with the use of a fork lift, pallet
jack or other suitable lifting device; see Figure 6-1.
c) Assemblies consisting of floor mounting base with
one stack module can be moved using the lifting strap
or a fork truck, pallet jack or other appropriate lifting
device. See Figure 6.2
d) Torque floor anchors per manufacturer’s
recommendations.
3) If the assembly requires additional modules, using appropriate
lifting equipment, place additional modules, one at a time, on
top of modules already in place. Properly align modules
and mounting holes, and insert the bolts, washers and
nuts as shown in Figure 6-4. Module-to-module bolts
should be torqued to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m) using a torque
wrench.
6.5.2 Installation of Modules and Cells Separately
In cases where modules must be installed without cells, modules should be installed in the same manner
as detailed (remove “shown”) in Section 6.5.1. Once base and modules have been installed and
properly secured in place, cells may be installed. For details on removing cells from modules, see
Section 6.5.3.
To install cells into empty modules:

Figure 6-2 Installation Using Hoist and Straps
Never attempt to move multiple modules until module-to-module bolts have been
properly torqued to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m) using a torque wrench.
