Battery Stands The battery stands are assembled from three major parts: the bases, back
panels, and dovetail keys. (See Figure 6-3.)
These parts are molded of a fiberglass reinforced polyester, which is a
strong, nonconducting plastic. These parts are also acid and fire
resistant. A basic module consists of two bases and two back panels, and
provides mounting space for four cells. The backs are available in three
different heights to accommodate the four cell sizes.
The module is assembled by inserting the back panels into the base
cavity. Panels are cemented into the base cavities for hardened-site and
some earthquake applications using RTV silicone cement.

Caution
The RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanized) silicone cement is mildly
toxic until cured and should be applied in a well-ventilated working
area.
