from the packaging and place it right side up on a flat surface.

C )  If installing multiple battery units, plan to install the Encharge 

battery unit located closest to the main supply. 

D )  The first person lifting must slide the longer front handle under 

the front edge of the Encharge battery, then tilt the handle up so 

that handle tabs engage with the slots on the front side of the 

battery. 

E )  The second person lifting must slide the shorter side handle 

under the left or right side (as needed) of the Encharge battery, 

and support the upper back of the Encharge battery with their 

free hand.

F )  Together, lift the Encharge battery and bring it to the already 

mounted bracket. 

G )  Hold the Encharge battery at an angle so the top of the unit sets 

into the top of the wall-mount bracket. 

WARNING! 

Risk of injury and equipment damage. Do not 

release the Encharge battery unit until you ensure that the 

Encharge battery unit is fully seated in the wall-mount bracket 

shelf. 

H )  Once the top of the battery is engaged with the top tabs of the 

wall-mount bracket, keep the battery vertical, make sure the 

battery is flush against the bracket, and lower the battery down 

until fully seated with the wall-mount bracket and set into the 

bracket shelf.

I )  Remove the handles and reserve for the next Encharge battery 

installation.

J )  Use a Phillips screw driver to loosen the screws securing the 

field wiring compartment cover and remove the cover. Keep the 

cover and screws handy as you will need them later.

hole at the top of the battery with the screw hole at the top of 

the bracket.
