Floor-Mounted Installation
Installation Precautions
Figure 4-2 shows the dimensions of mounting holes for a battery.
Procedure
- Align the floor support with the wall surface and keep the support 10 mm to 15 mm away from the wall surface. Level the hole positions using a level, and mark the hole positions for installing the floor support using a marker. Align the marking-off template with the surface of the floor mounting kit, determine the drilling hole positions on the wall for securing the power control module, and mark the positions using a marker.
- Install the floor support.
When drilling holes, avoid the water pipes and power cables buried in the wall.
M6x60 expansion bolts delivered with the battery are used to install the floor support and power control module. If the length and quantity of the bolts do not meet installation requirements, prepare M6 stainless steel expansion bolts by yourself. The expansion bolts delivered with the battery are mainly used for solid concrete walls and concrete floors. If other types of walls and floors are used, ensure that the walls and floors meet the load-bearing requirements (one battery expansion module weighs 50 kg) and select the bolts by yourself.

- To prevent dust inhalation or contact with eyes, wear safety goggles and an anti-dust mask when drilling holes.
- Wipe away any dust in or around the holes and measure the hole distances. If the holes are inaccurately positioned, drill holes again.
- Level the head of the expansion sleeve with the concrete wall or floor after removing the nut, spring washer, and flat washer. Otherwise, the mounting kit will not be securely installed on the wall or ground.
- Loosen the nut, spring washer, and flat washer of the expansion bolt at the bottom.
Figure 4-4 Installing expansion bolts - Place the first battery expansion module on the floor support, install the connecting pieces on both sides, and tighten the four screws. Install the remaining battery expansion modules and power control module from bottom to top.
After installing a module, install and tighten the connecting pieces and screws on the left and right sides of the module, and then install the next module.
Figure 4-5 Installing the battery expansion modules and power control module - Secure the power control module to the wall.
The power control module (DCDC) must be fixed on the wall. If the device is installed in an area prone to earthquakes or vibration, you can mark the battery module mounting holes and drill holes to install expansion bolts in step 2.
