2.2 Wall Mount Overview
Each battery requires a seperate bracket. Attach the bracket to the wall before attaching the AES battery to the wall mount.
Each bracket requires a minimum of four 1/4 inch diameter lag bolts or other fasteners. Fasteners must be strong enough to
support 227 kg (500 lbs).
Mounting Surface Minimum Required Fastener Minimum Number of
Fasteners Per Wall Mount
Wood Studs 16 inch on-center 1/4 nch Diameter x 3 1/2 inch long lag bolt 4
Wood studs not 16 inch on-center
(3/4 inch min. plywood panel required) 1/4 inch diameter x 1 inch long wood screw 6
Steel studs at 16 inch on-center (min. 18 gauge) 1/4 inch diameter self-drilling screw 4
▲NOTE
If the wall does not have 16 inch on-center studs, adequate
support for the bracket will have to be provided. For example, a
sheet of plywood can be attached to the wall, and the bracket can
then be attached to the plywood.
