Battery Backup Enclosures

In Industrial Enclosures by Aerel Rankin

SunWize manufactures a wide range of metal enclosures specifically designed to hold the most common BCI group sizes (Group 24, Group 31, 8D, 4D, L16, etc).  Navigating all the options we provide can be daunting, which is why we provide easy to use tools that help you select the exact enclosure you need for a given battery configuration.

We've provided the below easy-to-use charts to help customers determine the right options when designing battery backup power systems. Battery backup systems are designed to continue powering critical loads for a specific length of autonomy (usually measured in hours or days) when the primary power source fails (grid, generator, TEG, etc). You can learn more here about the basics of VRLA batteries and how temperature effects them (cold temperatures can significantly reduce total amount of available energy in batteries).
