I'm looking for some advice on whether it's feasible to build a shelf to hold my LG Prime 16H batteries. I have two of them and would like to stack them since my wall space is limited. I know they weigh nearly 350 lbs each, so I'm wondering if anyone has successfully mounted them on the wall or if that's just too risky. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated!

I haven’t seen anyone do that with the 16H model since LG only officially supports mounting the 10H. If I were trying it, I’d suggest using two vertical posts from floor to shelf with a solid 2x4 braced into wall studs. Then, I’d recommend making a sturdy shelf with 1.5" thick plywood to hold the weight securely. Make sure to also build a retaining box around it to prevent any movement. Just keep in mind, hanging that much weight could be sketchy. Alternatively, you might want to consider using the lighter 10H batteries instead!
I get that, but I already bought the 16Hs! I thought they could be wall-mounted like the 10Hs, so now I'm thinking about just placing them on the ground. They might block a window in the garage, but it’s not a window I ever use. Not sure if that’s a sound plan either.
