Battery Backup Generator Size and Weight

How Much Space Does a Battery Powered Generator Occupy?

 Hardwired and Standalone systems may work differently but are the same size and shape.

Both use the same off-white metal cabinets. Each system is 9.75 inches long and 18 inches wide, including the flanges.

The only difference is the height, which depends on how many batteries are used for storing energy.

Smaller systems can be as short as 16.25 inches, about knee-high. The tallest systems can be up to 93.25 inches, almost as tall as a room's ceiling. This means battery backup systems can fit in nearly every space.

For example, our most miniature 1200-watt system is 16.25 inches tall, 18 inches long, and 9.75 inches wide. As you add more battery power, only the height increases. The 2.4, 3.6, and 4.8 kWh systems get taller but still use the same floor space.

So, a more extensive system with four times the storage capacity only takes up less than three times the height without needing more room!

 

 

 

Standalone/Hardwire Backup System Dimensions

Hardwired and Standalone systems may have different names and work differently, but they are the same size.

Both use the same off-white metal cabinets and measure 9.75 inches long and 18 inches wide, including the flanges.

The only thing that changes is the height, depending on how many batteries the system has.

Smaller systems are as short as 16.25 inches, about knee-high. The tallest ones can be 93.25 inches (7 feet 8 inches), almost as tall as a room’s ceiling. This means a battery backup system can fit in almost any room.

For example, the smallest 1200-watt system is 16.25 inches tall, 18 inches long, and 9.75 inches wide. As the battery size grows, only the height increases. The 2.4, 3.6, and 4.8 kWh systems get taller but take up the same amount of floor space.

For clients like ambulatory surgery centers with extensive capacity needs, multi-cabinet hardwire/standalone units are available. These specialty systems feature additional cabinets with identical dimensions to increase storage capacity.

The additional cabinet(s) are connected to and mounted directly adjacent to your main cabinet. Multi-cabinet systems have the advantage of drastically increasing the backup power available while maintaining a smaller footprint.

Mobile Battery Backup Unit System Dimensions

Like other systems, Mobile Units have a cabinet-like design that gets taller as storage capacity increases.

Because they need to move around, their design has some unique features.

First, Mobile Units are made of stainless steel. They are also wider, longer, and shorter than Standalone or Hardwired systems. They measure 28.25 inches long and 16.5 inches wide, with the top as a clean counter space for medical materials.

Mobile systems come in three sizes:

• One-tier: 17.75 inches tall (about knee-high)
• Two-tier: 29.75 inches tall (about waist-high)
• Three-tier: 42.25 inches tall (about chest-high)

These sizes help make them easy to move safely.

How Much Does a Battery Backup System Weigh?

The batteries account for most of the weight in our systems, while the metal cabinets are much lighter.

Because of this, systems' weights can be very different. The lightest ones weigh just over 150 pounds, while the heaviest can weigh almost 800 pounds.

As systems hold more power, they get heavier. But this extra weight is worth it since you can run your appliances for longer without taking up more space.

Don’t worry about the weight. Standalone and Hardwired systems:

• Arrive partly disassembled
• Stay in one place once installed
• Always use the same amount of floor space, no matter how many batteries they have

This means:

• One person can install them since no part weighs more than 60 pounds
• Once set up, you won’t have to move them, so the weight won’t be an issue
• You can make the most of the space you have for backup power

If you think you’ll need to move a system often, consider a Mobile System. They come fully assembled and can roll around your facility if you need portable power.
