Yes. The core supply from ETENZ is the enclosure and the battery racks: compartmented shell structure, full-side doors along the long side, zone partitions, 48-position battery racks, and the reserved interfaces for liquid cooling, dehumidification, fire protection, LV distribution and monitoring. Battery packs, PCS and BMS are outside the default scope — they are free-issued by the customer or integrated within the agreed project scope. Which tier you take is your call: bare-shell supply, subsystem integration, finished cabin delivery or OEM/ODM private-label are all available, and the delivery tiers on this page spell out what each one contains.

Liquid cooling loop
Chiller, distribution manifold, hoses and quick couplings to each rack, plus flow balancing across racks; the cold plate inside the pack is the pack supplier's. Dehumidification tracks dew point.
LV and DC on board
LV auxiliary distribution and control cubicles, lighting and emergency lighting, earthing, bonding and internal wiring, with in-cabin DC combining by scope. Scope ends at the DC output terminals.
Alarm and release
Smoke, heat and combustible-gas detectors report to the fire alarm panel and release the suppression pipe network; the manifold connection and branch valve room sit at opposite ends of the cabin.
Full side access
A non-walk-in layout puts the whole long side of the battery zone on doors: pack positions sit right behind them, so loading and later replacement happen outside and no aisle is kept inside.
Compartmented cabin
PCS electrical compartment, battery zone and end auxiliary compartment are partitioned within one shell, the outline built to site conditions and pack arrangement — 5650×2438×3288 mm on this build.
Product Details

Front elevation: PCS electrical compartment door, battery doors and branch valve door in sequence
Along the long side, running from one end, come the PCS electrical compartment door, the battery doors and the branch valve door — each zone opening on its own, labelled on its own, none crossing into another. Doors use vertical multi-point latching, a single continuous gasket runs the whole door frame, and the leaf sits close to flush with the wall, so no handle stands proud to foul a sling. Lifting marks are set at both ends of the roof and the base is a one-piece structural steel frame, so the cabin can be lifted whole or moved by forklift.

Front elevation: PCS electrical compartment door, battery doors and branch valve door in sequence
The battery zone is laid out non-walk-in: support arms reach from the back wall towards the doorway and packs are pushed in along them from outside, so no maintenance aisle is kept and the depth an aisle would have taken goes back to pack positions. With all four battery doors open, a whole row of positions is exposed at once; loading and later replacement are done from outside, with no handling or turning inside the cabin. Locating rails run along the rack feet on the floor, and each rack is bolted to the base frame once seated.
Uprights are painted square tube; cross arms are galvanised sections bolted to the punched strip on the upright, with tier heights set before assembly to suit pack height. Arms are paired front and back on the same tier, so a pack pushed in lands on two arms and carries its weight through the uprights into the base frame. Every position has its coolant supply and return connection and its cable exit reserved to the standard envelope drawing, and that drawing goes out to the battery side at quotation stage — designing the pack to the cabin envelope saves a round compared with reworking the racks during assembly.
The PCS electrical compartment is a separate zone at one end of the cabin, with a set of weather louvres top and bottom on the door forming a bottom-to-top ventilation path, and an emergency stop button and run indicators outside. Inside sit the LV auxiliary distribution and control cubicles and the earthing and equipotential bars, with power and control cable run in separate trunking through to the battery zone; project scope can add in-cabin DC combining, busbars and output terminals. The ETENZ electrical scope ends at the DC output terminals — the PCS and conversion equipment are customer-supplied or integrated within scope, and their model, rating and maintenance clearances follow the equipment supplier's technical data.
One end of the cabin is partitioned off as a separate auxiliary compartment, where the dehumidifier, the fire control panel and the suppression manifold connection are stacked on the same face, each with its own door and its own label. Dehumidification is sized to the humidity load in the cabin and to the coolant dew point — when the liquid-cooling supply temperature sits below dew point, condensation in the battery zone is the first problem to solve. Extinguishing agent enters through the manifold connection and is distributed to each battery zone by the branch valves, whose room sits at the other end of the long side; release circuits and the fire alarm panel are wired and label-checked at the works. A maintenance step outside the auxiliary door keeps routine inspection outside the cabin.
Behind the outer doors of the battery zone runs a second line of steel mesh doors, so the pack positions stay screened off while an outer door is open for ventilation or a check. LED strips run the length of the roof, distribution and signal cable follows overhead trunking, and harnesses crossing a door are protected in flexible conduit with slack left for the door swing. Lighting, emergency lighting, sockets and auxiliary distribution are prefabricated at the works, leaving only the external supply connection and the earthing bond to be made on site.

Product FAQs
5 MWh is the nominal capacity this cabin reaches with the current pack configuration, and 48 is the number of positions the rack is designed around; both follow the pack model. Change the pack and the arm tier heights, position pitch, per-tier loading and coolant connection points are re-laid to the new pack's envelope, weight and anchor points — the total number of positions moves with them. The usual route is for ETENZ to issue the standard rack and envelope drawing first and have the battery side confirm against it, which saves a round compared with reworking the racks during assembly. Capacity, efficiency and cycle life are defined by the battery and system parties.
No cold plate. What ETENZ supplies is the whole-cabin liquid-cooling package: the chiller, the distribution manifold, the hoses and quick couplings to each rack, and flow balancing between racks. The cold plate sits inside the battery pack and belongs to the pack design. Cooling capacity is selected against the heat load given by the system party, and the chiller is normally mounted outside — end wall, roof or on a skid — with its position drawn on the layout because it affects your footprint. Cell temperature and temperature-spread targets are met jointly by the cabin side and the pack side, not guaranteed by the cabin alone. Liquid cooling is the mainstream configuration for storage cabins today; air-cooled builds have been delivered too, generally only where capacity is small or a particular site calls for it.
On the LV side, yes: LV auxiliary distribution and control cubicles, lighting and emergency lighting, sockets, earthing and equipotential bonding, and the internal power and control wiring are all in scope. On the DC side it follows the project scope — in-cabin DC combining, busbars, output terminals and sealed gland plates can be built, and the scope ends at the DC output terminals. Beyond those terminals, the PCS, transformer, MV switchgear and grid-connection equipment belong to the customer or the system party; we issue the DC interface documents — terminal positions, acceptable cable sizes, bending space — to work to.
This cabin uses pipe-network suppression: the manifold connection sits outside, the branch valves have a room of their own, and pipework is run inside to each battery zone. Smoke, heat and combustible-gas detectors report to the fire alarm panel, and the release interlock and the volt-free alarm contacts are wired at the works. The suppression system can be supplied and installed by ETENZ, or specified by you or free-issued — both have been done; either way the detection, alarm and release-monitoring interfaces stay in scope. Explosion venting and combustible-gas-interlocked emergency extract are configured to the project and to local rules: European projects size the vent area, select the vent panels and check the cabin's pressure resistance to EN 14994 / EN 14797. The cabin makes no claim of UL 9540, NFPA 855 or fire-authority approval — that is system-level evidence and local approval territory.
This cabin's outline is non-standard, set by the site conditions and the pack arrangement on the project: at 5650 mm it is about 400 mm shorter than a standard 20 ft box, and at 3288 mm it is taller, trading vertical space back into depth — easier to place where site depth is tight or an existing foundation has to be reused. The trade-off is that it is not an ISO box type, so transport is arranged as an out-of-gauge load rather than as a standard container. If the site takes a standard box and you want ordinary container shipping, the 20 ft containerised storage cabin is the easier option.
The usual route is a battery-ready cabin: racks, liquid-cooling distribution, routing and interfaces all completed, with the packs installed by you or by the system integrator — pack assembly and installation are outside the default scope. The works inspection is cabin-level: structure, cooling under load, fire, LV, IP and circuit tests, with the records issued in the handover file; it does not cover testing of the battery system itself. Having the packs installed and energised under witness means agreeing that scope and the responsibility split separately in the contract.
Two cases. European projects follow the EN family: structure to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3), fire detection to EN 54, suppression to EN 15004 / EN 12094, explosion venting to EN 14994 / EN 14797, LV to IEC 61439-1 / -2, auxiliary supply at 400/230V three-phase + N + PE (TN-S) 50Hz; within scope the delivery carries CE marking (LVD 2014/35/EU + EMC 2014/30/EU), the declaration of conformity and component certificate file, with nameplate and documents in CE format and the destination language. North American projects are adapted to the interface document, nameplate and documentation requirements of UL / NFPA, with the exact scope agreed in the contract. One thing holds either way: CE or standards adaptation covers only the cabin and the systems within ETENZ scope, not the batteries, the PCS or the storage system as a whole. UL 9540, NFPA 855 and fire-authority approval are system-level evidence and local approval; the cabin makes no claim of passing them. Projects in China follow IEC / GB.
Yes. Storage cabins are available under OEM/ODM and customer private-label delivery: brand nameplate, colours and marking language follow your standard, the pack count and rack tier heights are re-laid to your battery pack, and outline dimensions, entry and exit positions and interface standards are aligned to your platform. For a multi-site programme the result can be frozen as one baseline cabin type and interface library, so later batches are copied from the same drawing set and the compliance file follows the same route.
Four things are enough for a meaningful quotation. First, the battery pack's envelope dimensions, weight, anchor points and coolant connection positions and count. Second, the list, dimensions and supply split for the PCS and distribution equipment, plus how far you want the DC side taken. Third, the installation environment: indoor or outdoor, ambient temperature, humidity, altitude and the corrosion class required. Fourth, the outline and transport limits: usable site dimensions, foundation type, lifting method and destination. If you have a layout drawing, a single-line diagram or drawings of an existing cabin type, send those too — it saves a round of questions.
