2/6 Cabinet — Solar Battery Box (Holds 4 Batteries)
Overview
The BP2/6 Solar Battery Cabinet is a rugged outdoor-rated battery enclosure engineered for renewable-energy and remote-power systems. Designed to house up to four Group L16 batteries, it provides a secure, weather-resistant structure that shields batteries from temperature extremes, moisture, and mechanical damage.
Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a powder-coated finish, the cabinet ensures long service life in harsh environments. It is the ideal companion for off-grid solar arrays, telecom power, SCADA, and industrial monitoring systems requiring reliable, protected battery storage.
Key Features
- Holds up to four L16 or similar-sized deep-cycle batteries
- Heavy-duty welded steel construction with powder-coat corrosion protection
- Outdoor-rated, lockable front access door for security
- Passive ventilation and optional forced-air venting provisions
- Designed for integration with solar power cabinets and equipment racks
- Pre-drilled for conduit entries, cable routing, and ground bonding
Applications
- Off-grid solar or hybrid battery storage systems
- Telecom and instrumentation enclosures
- Remote lighting and monitoring stations
- SCADA, oil & gas, and utility power systems

Design & Construction
Each BP2/6 cabinet is fabricated from precision-formed steel panels and welded seams to eliminate flex and vibration. The cabinet includes battery divider brackets, ventilation slots, and ground-bonding studs for safety and compliance. Its lockable front access simplifies maintenance while ensuring secure battery containment.
Operation & Integration
The BP2/6 integrates directly into solar and hybrid systems as a dedicated battery bay. It protects stored energy assets, maintains optimal temperature balance through natural convection, and provides a safe housing solution for multiple configurations such as 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V battery banks using four 6 V batteries.
