Do battery cabinets have top clearance?

Battery cabinets are frequently criticized for their lack of top clearance. For example, in a cabinet containing multiple strings of low ampere-hour batteries, there might be several shelves, each with one string of cells. The cell units on each shelf might be arranged two, three, or more cells deep.

How many cells can a battery cabinet hold?

One cabinet should be able to hold at least one complete string of cells. Best practice is that strings should not be split between two cabinets in order to ensure reliability of the entire string. Figure 1 - Battery cabinet with top terminal cells

Which battery configuration should I Choose?

Generally speaking, the larger the battery (both physically and ampere-hour rated), the more likely a rack configuration will be considered. There are no hard and fast rules, but typically once a battery unit (single-cell or multi-cell) gets above 100 AH, it favors rack-mount. Below that, cabinet mounting should be considered. Number
