Vaulta assemble and test battery in Australia
Batteries removed from cabinet and boxed
Cabinet and batteries palletized for shipment
First leg - Brisbane to Singapore (10 days)
Hong Kong flagged vessel OOCL Houston en-route
Second leg - Singapore to Hong Kong (5 days)
Battery cartons opened and inspected upon arrival
Lift carefully! These Vaulta batteries are really heavy
Temporary storage prior to system assembly
Second battery stowed beside first
Battery cabinet unwrapped and checked
Cabinet stored with batteries
Storm Force required approximately 7 days to assemble and commission the system
One small snag encountered was getting the Vaulta BMS to talk to the Victron equipment
Once all kinks ironed out the system began to operate normally and has run flawlessly since
