Thanks Jason, I’m still wondering if there is an IBC reference for weight. The Discover manual only states:
“ For structural and seismic stability, the AES Battery must be mounted onto a vertical supporting surface strong enough to support a minimum of 227 kg (500 lbs) per battery. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.” Other than asking a structural engineer, how can I be sure that the wall is rated to 4,500 lbs?
