Ventilation No special battery room or ventilation is required.
However, do NOT install in an airtight enclosure.
Grounding It is recommended that the modules or racks be grounded in
accordance with NEC and/or local codes.
Floor Reasonably level. Shimming up to 1/4” (6mm) maximum to level
battery front to rear and side to side. Capable of supporting the
weight of the battery as well as any auxiliary equipment.
Anchoring All installations should be floor anchored. Anchoring should meet
all local, state, federal codes and industry standards.
Floor anchoring and its design are the responsibility of the installer.
Ensure seismic requirements are considered.
Proximity to PowerSafe™ VRLA batteries may be installed next to electronic
Electronic Equipment equipment, unless it generates heat.

5.2 Considerations for Connecting the Battery System to Operating Equipment
The battery has been sized based on a specific load (amps or KW) for a specific run time to
a specific end voltage. Consult with the system/equipment supplier to determine these
parameters, because battery performance is based on these values, which are measured
at the battery terminals.
Therefore, ensure that the load cables:
• between the battery and its load are the shortest routing possible to the terminal,
allowing sufficient additional cable (about 6" [15 cm]) for connect/disconnect.
• are the proper size to minimize the voltage drop between the battery output terminals
and the load.
• are connected to the terminal plate (NEVER connect the load cable(s) directly to the
battery terminal).
