System Installation Considerations
CAUTION: Fire Hazard
Failure to ventilate the battery compartment can result in the buildup of
hydrogen gas, which is explosive.
o
The battery enclosure or room must be well-ventilated. This ventilation protects against accidental
gas buildup. All EnergyCell batteries are valve-regulated and do not normally emit noticeable
amounts of gas. However, in the event of accidental leakage, the enclosure must not allow the
leaked gas to become concentrated.
o
The battery enclosure or room must have adequate lighting. This is necessary to read terminal
polarity, identify cable color, and view the physical state of the battery as required.
o
The battery should be installed with a minimum 36 " (91.4 cm) clearance in front. This allows access
for testing, maintenance, and any other reasons.
Battery Installation
The EnergyCell 1000XLC is designed for fast modular installation into an assembled cabinet for
a 48V battery bank. The batteries come in modules of 6 cells which can be stacked in 4 rows,
resulting in a neat, fully enclosed, and non-conductive cabinet. The assembled cabinet is

" (112.5 cm) x 67 5 /

" (55.5 cm). Use powered lifting equipment and the
puller kit shown in Figure 9, or if lifting equipment is unavailable remove the batteries from their
modules before stacking, then replaced one at a time.
IMPORTANT:
The surface supporting the assembled cabinet must be designed to support
27.3 psi (1.92 kg/cm
