The enclosure is engineered for 28 battery-pack positions and a nominal 6.25 MWh configuration. Cells and packs are supplied and installed by the customer or battery supplier. ETENZ delivers the pack-ready enclosure, with battery racks, LV auxiliaries, in-cabin DC, thermal management and fire protection completed to the selected delivery tier.





Battery Energy Storage Enclosure (20 ft, 6.25 MWh)
For BESS integrators and battery manufacturers: full-side pack loading, standard container transport, and delivery from bare enclosure to OEM/ODM fit-out.
Key Metrics
Product Features
Side-loaded packs
Battery packs slide straight into cantilever racks through the long-side doors, so installation and replacement are completed from outside without an internal aisle.
Side-loaded packs
Battery packs slide straight into cantilever racks through the long-side doors, so installation and replacement are completed from outside without an internal aisle.
50 t CSC container
The type-approved container has a 50 t maximum gross mass and can be booked, lifted and secured as a standard freight container rather than out-of-gauge cargo.
Pack-specific racks
A rack envelope drawing is issued at quotation stage so the pack supplier can confirm dimensions, fixing points and interfaces before the rack design is released.
Liquid cooling
The liquid-cooling scope can extend from the chiller to quick couplings at every rack, including branch flow balancing and dehumidification selected against coolant dew point.
Piped suppression
Detection, alarm and release interfaces are completed with the enclosure; the piped suppression package can be supplied by ETENZ or integrated around the customer's nominated system.
Factory-built DC
DC combining, internal busbars and DC output terminals can be completed at the factory, leaving a defined interface from the output terminals to the PCS.
Product Details

Open side-door rack bay with tiered cantilever rails, overhead lighting and detection, and red suppression pipework at floor level
Each long-side door opens onto one independent rack bay and exposes its full cross-section. Cantilever rails are fixed in tiers to both side walls so packs can be pushed into position from outside. Lighting and detection devices run overhead, cable routes follow the roof, and the suppression pipework stays low along the floor. ETENZ engineers the tier spacing, shelf loading and pack fixing points to the pack outline, mass and anchoring loads.

Open side-door rack bay with tiered cantilever rails, overhead lighting and detection, and red suppression pipework at floor level
The suppression main follows the roof steelwork, held by bolted clamps on galvanized channels before dropping vertically to the individual rack bays. Pipework, detection and alarm devices are installed in the factory, with release and interlock signals connected to the enclosure control circuit and checked during cabin-level inspection. Explosion venting and emergency extract interlocked with hydrogen and carbon-monoxide detection are configured to the project and local code.
A dedicated electrical door at the end wall groups the viewing windows, run and fault indicators and emergency-stop pushbutton. Operators can check status without opening the door and stop the unit locally from outside. The LV auxiliary distribution and control area sits behind the door; its panels follow IEC 61439-1/-2, with lighting, sockets and internal wiring completed at the factory. The CSC safety approval plate is mounted on the lower door panel.
Each door is bonded to its frame with a braided copper strap, while the green-yellow PE conductor terminates on a welded earthing stud with a clear earth label. A separate external earthing point on the base frame connects the enclosure to the site earth grid. A continuous rubber gasket runs around the frame, and the locking bars compress it to meet the selected IP54 or IP55 protection target.
Equipment and service openings in the corrugated end wall are cut at the factory to the approved layout. Bolted cover plates and sealant close them during transport and storage, then the project ventilation, pressure-relief or service components are connected during installation. Customers taking a bare enclosure can continue their fit-out from these prepared interfaces without cutting the shell on site.
Raised frames at the four roof corners position the lifting holes above the roof plane, keeping slings clear of the top panels. Lifting-point labels and black-yellow warning markings make the handling points easy to identify, while ISO corner castings at the base provide the transport restraint points. Lifting points, rigging and centre of gravity are checked against the loaded configuration, with the final lifting mass confirmed for the project.

Product FAQs
Yes. The enclosure uses a 20 ft high-cube ISO outline of 6058 × 2438 × 2896 mm. Its type-approved CSC design has a maximum gross mass of 50,000 kg and carries a CSC safety approval plate, allowing standard-container booking, lifting and securing. If a project changes the outline or openings, the approval body confirms whether the existing approval remains applicable; dangerous-goods declarations and carrier acceptance for a battery-loaded unit are handled by the shipper.
Yes. The racks are engineered to the pack outline, mass, fixing points and cooling interfaces. At quotation stage ETENZ issues an envelope drawing showing usable width, height and depth, shelf load, cooling connection locations and pack fixing points for confirmation by the battery supplier before release.
The standard project approach is liquid cooling. ETENZ can supply the chiller, distribution pipework and quick couplings to every rack and balance flow across the branches; the cold plates inside the packs belong to the battery supplier. The chiller position is fixed on the general arrangement, dehumidification is selected against enclosure humidity load and coolant dew point, and cooling capacity follows the heat load provided by the battery supplier.
Either route is available: ETENZ can supply and install the piped suppression system, or integrate a customer-nominated system and extinguishing agent. Detection, alarm, release and interlock interfaces are included in both arrangements; explosion venting and emergency extract are configured to the project and local code.
The available scope includes DC combining, internal busbars, DC output terminals and sealed cable-entry plates inside the enclosure, and ends at the DC output terminals. PCS, transformer, MV switchgear and grid connection remain with the customer or system party; ETENZ supplies interface information for terminal positions, acceptable cable sizes and bending space.
Cabin-level factory inspection covers structure, cooling under load, fire protection, LV systems, ingress protection and circuit checks, with records included in the handover file and customer witnessing available. The document package includes the general arrangement, single-line diagram, interface list, inspection records, bill of materials, nameplate data, supplier certificates and O&M manual. System-level testing after the packs are installed remains with the system party.
Please provide the battery-pack drawing with outline, mass, fixing points and cooling interfaces; battery-string and DC data; heat load; fire-protection requirements; site temperature, humidity, altitude, wind and corrosion conditions; destination-market standards and certification requirements; and the required delivery tier.
