We almost always use the AES brackets. Often mounted to strut. You want access to the on/off button, so some exposed conductor is inevitable. We have also fabricated shelves for them to sit on. For 2 or more batteries in multiples of two, we stack them so that the bottom battery has its terminals facing up, and the top battery with terminals facing down. With large banks, like the one we are currently building with we placed both a 10" X 10" X 20' long gutter with 3/8" x 4" bussbars running the entire length, and for comms (2) 2.5" X 2.5" x 20" gutters(top and bottom) between the upper and lower stacks of batteries. Cables wrap back and into the back of the gutters. It's very clean. In a few instances, we have left the batteries sitting on the pallet bases they shipped on when budgets are super tight or no wall space is available.
