Do batteries connected to the Ferroamp system need to be anchored and what are the requirements for walls/floors?

Answer: 

In general, batteries installed for home use should always be anchored to either the floor or the wall. The specific option depends primarily on the battery manufacturer and how the battery is constructed. This is always specified in the manual for the particular battery model. The wall or floor where the battery is anchored must be able to bear and maintain the weight of the battery.

Example:

An ESS (Energy Storage System) battery typically needs to be anchored to the surface it rests on, such as a concrete floor. It is also recommended to anchor it to some form of base plate to distribute weight and ensure that the battery remains dry in case of flooding or similar events.
