Battery Rack Assembly and Installation Manual 17
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.
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).
