Recommended Battery Installation Method for Luminaires Without
Battery Installation Accessories.
If the luminaire doesn’t include accessories to secure the battery within the luminaire housing, IOTA recommends mounting the
battery/batteries as follows:

2LA - Dual Battery Model
2LA - Dual Battery Model
•
Urethane Foam Tape (3M 4318)
- 30" Long (Min) x 0.5" Wide
•
Heavy-Duty Cable Tie
- 20" Long (Min) x 0.5" Wide
•
(2)
Cable Tie Mounts
- for 0.5" Wide Cable Ties
Components Needed (not Provided)
Vertically wrap the battery with the
urethane foam
tape
. Start by placing the tape between the battery
terminals and wrap around the battery twice so that
there are
at least two layers/loops of tape
around
the battery. For
dual battery configuration
place the
batteries side-by-side and then wrap with urethane
foam tape.
STEP 1
Insert the
heavy-duty cable tie
in the
cable tie
mounts
, making sure the screw holes are in
opposition to each other as shown in the
Side View
illustration to the right. Lock the cable tie in the first
serration to later fit the battery into the loop.
STEP 2
On a flat surface/workspace, separate the cable tie
mounts by 4" (single battery) or 3" (dual battery) and
fit the battery inside the cable tie loop in-between
the mounts. Note: the battery should be laid down
with the battery label facing up
and the mounts
flush with the work surface as shown in the
Top View
illustration to the right.
STEP 3
Slowly tighten the cable tie, making sure the cable tie
mounts don’t move from the surface and the cable tie
stays aligned with the foam tape. Note: the cable tie
should be on top of the foam tape to avoid sideways
movement of the battery.
STEP 4
Place the whole battery assembly inside the
luminaire housing. Once a suitable place is found,
mark the screw hole locations, remove the battery
assembly, and drill the mounting screw holes.
STEP 5
Screw the cable tie mounts in the drilled holes
to secure the battery assembly. Finally, verify the
battery is securely held in place by the cable tie. If
needed, the cable tie may be tightened.
