Re: Battery Carts/Shelves

Stack all your batteries on one side, 10 tall with the terminals pointing out. Put the single chargers along the side, with lights visible, and cords accessible within reach of the battery shelf. Put the Triple bay charger on its side and mounted in a similar position. You could use Hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) to adhere the chargers to a wall.

EDIT: actually looking at your dimensions, you may have to do 2 stacks of 5 batteries, placed back to back, with terminals facing away from each other. The chargers could be on one side of the block to have access to both shelves

Rest of your advice is sound, but I wouldn't advise this. I would advise to either screw or bolt your chargers down. Otherwise, with the constant jostling of a competition and transport, they will come loose and cause havoc.

Re: Battery Carts/Shelves

You just got to use enough Velcro. Admittedly sometimes screws are easier than enough Velcro.

Re: Battery Carts/Shelves

Thanks for those suggestions.
It's really helpful.
If anyone has any more ideas, I'm still in the process of designing it.
Thank you.

Re: Battery Carts/Shelves

make sure it is an ergonomical design, so the batteries go in and out efficiently
