ABSTRACT:
A retrofit battery cabinet for telecommunications equipment. A 48 volt DC or other battery power supply is held in a retrofit battery cabinet to provide a retrofittable battery power supply to telecommunications cabinets. Dual and separately operable battery trays provide a weight-bearing capacity of more than 500 pounds each. The battery trays extend through an open front end of a housing be sealed by a removable door. The weight load exerted by the retrofit battery cabinet is supported by the concrete or other pad providing ultimate support to the entire configured assembly, and not by the associated telecommunications equipment cabinet. Outriggers, mounting brackets, and nesting of the housing beneath the telecommunications cabinet serve to secure the retrofit battery cabinet in place, ensuring the electrical connection between the batteries and the telecommunications equipment without direct attachment of the retrofit battery cabinet to the telecommunications cabinet support columns. Exhaust fans shrouded by the outriggers ventilate hydrogen gas and provide a more controlled thermal environment for the batteries. The removable door may have a full-length front vent at its base or, alternatively, a duct may connect the retrofit battery cabinet to a subterranean or other thermal reservoir for constant-temperature air flow. A thermostat, timer or timers, alarm reset, battery connections, fuses, breakers, and the like may be held and made easily and readily available at a central console. An intrusion alarm may alert a central monitoring station or control of removal of the front door panel.
