This is covered quite adequately in the manual:

4.2. Physical installation


4.2.1. Mounting

Mounting must meet the following requirements:

  1. The battery must be mounted in an upright position.

  2. The battery is only suitable for indoor use and needs to be located in a dry location.

  3. Batteries are heavy. When moving the battery into its destined location, use suitable handling equipment for transportation.

  4. Ensure adequate and secure mounting as the battery can become a projectile if involved in an accident.

  5. Batteries produce a certain amount of heat when they are charged or discharged. Keep a 20mm space on each side of the battery for ventilation purposes.
