The vertical column of bays at the right side of the Power
Array frame houses the battery modules. See Figure 5-3.
n Each battery module weighs 27kg (60 lb). Battery
module installation and handling requires two people.
n The PowerView cable must be held out of the way while
a battery module is installed in bay R2.
Procedure for Battery Module Installation
1. Clear all battery module bays of any debris.
Fig 5-3 Location of Battery Module Bays
Note: There are two alignment grooves molded into each bat-
tery module bay. These correspond with runners on the bottom
of each battery module. See figure 5-4.
2. With one person on either side of the battery module, lift
the module, align the runners with the alignment grooves,
and slide the module into a bay. Always install power or bat-
tery modules in the lowest available bays. Installing them in
this manner minimizes lifting and lowers the center of grav-
ity of the Power Array system.

Note: As the battery module slides into the bay, a retaining flange
will fall behind a notch in the frame. See figure 5-5. This is a
safety feature. When the battery module is removed from the
frame, this flange prevents the battery from falling out of the
bay until both people have assumed the full weight of the mod-
ule.

3. Engage the internal electrical connector by swiftly and
firmly pushing the battery module into place. The battery
module design incorporates a drop lock that engages when
the battery module is properly seated in the bay. If this lock
does not engage, a slight tug will move the module. When it
is locked, the battery module sits firmly in place and must be
lifted slightly before it can be pulled from the bay.
