EnergyCell RE Battery Rack Instructions To assemble the integrated battery rack: 1. Install four ½” studs into the mounting surface (concrete or a similarly reinforced material). From the front to the back, the stud centers should be spaced 19” (48.3 cm) apart, as shown in Figure 3. Spacing from left to right should be 25” (63.5 cm) apart. 2. Lower the battery rack over the four studs as shown in Figure 3 and settle the rack in place.
