2 x 7.2 Ah Batteries on tray

Figure 7 shows two 7.2 Ah batteries mounted on the battery tray in the base of an PowerLogic ADVC Controller cubicle. They are attached by velcro straps.

The battery tray is made from stainless steel and shaped to restrict movement of the batteries. It is also mounted at an angle to make battery handling easier.

An EPDM rubber battery protector mat is placed on top of the tray and velcro straps are used to hold the batteries in place. The mat is designed to help protect the batteries and straps.

A battery temperature sensor is built into the battery tray. The sensor is used by the battery charging electronics to optimize battery life.
