Abstract
A frame assembly for receiving and supporting batteries in at least one horizontal row comprises a pair of generally parallel spaced apart, aligned base supports with each base support having a front end and a rear end. Four vertical corner supports, including a front pair and a rear pair are secured to the base supports with the front pair of corner supports being generally equally spaced from the rear pair of corner supports. At least one pair of horizontal supports are secured to the corner supports. The horizontal support pair includes a front horizontal support and a rear horizontal support. Each horizontal support has two ends with each end of the front horizontal support being secured to one of the corner supports of the front pair of corner supports and with each end of the rear horizontal support being secured to one of the corner supports of the rear pair of corner supports. The horizontal supports are both secured at each end to the corner supports at a first predetermined distance from the base supports, the first predetermined distances being established so that at least one battery may be supported by the first pair of horizontal supports to establish a first horizontal battery row.
