Positioning rails on shelves

Apply your Battery Type (Power or Fiamm) to the Rail Spacing Matrix below to determine initial positioning of rails. Take into consideration that this information represents “suggested” starting points for placing rails. Make adjustments as necessary.

Battery	Wiring	Rails/Shelf	Left Corner Post		Space Between		Center Space
Type	Style		to 1st Rail		Facing Rails
			mm	in	mm	in	mm	in
Power	E	4	50	2.00	345	13.50	235	9.25
Fiamm	E	4	50	2.00	405	16.00	110	4.25

Addressing the bottom shelf

To maintain structural integrity, batteries are loaded from bottom-to-top in the rack.

1.Position Battery Rails on BOTTOM shelf Cross Bars according to spacing requirements obtained from the Rail Spacing Matrix chart above. Measure with ruler or tape to ensure proper spacing, and later make adjustments as necessary.

Each “set” of two (2) rails should face inward to enable their facing edges to support batteries. Refer to graphic in step 2 below.

2.Screw Battery Rails into BOTTOM shelf Cross Bars using 1/4-20 x 3/4” flathead screws and 1/4-20 spring nuts. Each battery rail requires two screws and two spring nuts (one screw and spring nut is applied to each cross bar).
