The present invention is directed to an environmental control system for use with a battery cabinet having at least one battery and a fan employable to circulate air through the battery cabinet, and method of operating the fan to circulate air through the battery cabinet. In one embodiment, the environmental control system includes a voltage sensor that monitors a voltage associated with the battery, and a battery temperature sensor that monitors a temperature of the battery. The environmental control system also includes a fan control subsystem, coupled to the voltage and battery temperature sensors, that activates the fan upon an occurrence of one of: the temperature of the battery exceeding a predetermined temperature, and the voltage associated with the battery exceeding a predetermined voltage.

A busbar holder includes a supporting base having engaging prongs located at opposing ends of the supporting base. These engaging prongs engage receptacles in a printed circuit board (PCB) to secure the supporting base to the PCB. Four securing prongs extending vertically upward and having catch hooks at their free end are attached to the respective corners of the supporting base. A supporting wall extending vertically upward is attached to the supporting base and located intermediate the four securing prongs. Busbars are inserted between the wall and two of the securing prongs and are secured in place by the catch hooks.
