If it helps, you can stack Outdoor Wallmount in front of each other. See my profile picture.

That's what I did with my indoor wall mount Powerpros, except that my two batteries in the front are staggered so that I can still see and access the screens of the rear units. Works great. They are not actually wall mounted of course but it would take quite some effort to tip them over so I'm not concerned. We have no children in the house and they're in a lockable mechanical room.

Several of us here in this thread are actually running 100% off grid, theories from on gridders are cool but in the real world, some work and some don't.
I have a crap ton of batteries amounting to 185kWh worth, now my problem is lack of PV input, but only on several consecutive days of dull weather. I have 13kW of panels currently facing east and south, adding another 7.5kW to the west roof soon.
BTW, you can stack the PP batteries in front of each other, I have outdoor ones in the back with indoor ones in front x2. I LOVE the displays but rarely look at them now, I assume the front ones represent the others near enough and can look at the online monitoring to confirm.
EG4 now have wireways that go 2 wide or 2 deep.

For powerpro wallmount? Neat, where can I find out more?

I like the idea of staggering the wallmount indoor units so I can see the displays. I'm not sure about how I can safely mount them though. I'll need to look into that.
While it may look a little bit amateurish, I've wondered whether ratchet straps secured to the wall with eyehook lag bolts would be a good solution. That should certainly keep the batteries from tipping over.

I love the cost savings of using the indoor wallmounted batteries over the server racks. I could get the same storage capacity with two wallmounted batteries as 6 smaller batteries in a server rack. Im going to push to see if I can make the additional wallmounts work

Mount the first ones high enough on the wall that you can read the display when the one sitting in front of them are sitting on the floor. Or use an outdoor mounted on the wall and an indoor sitting on the floor in front of it.

I thought about using some angle aluminum to make a bracket to go between the wall and the bracket on the back of the forward battery. I'm not in earthquake country so mine wouldn't have to be battleship strong just enough to keep them from ever falling over.

Water heater earthquake straps. Those of you not on the Ring of Fire might not be able to find them at your local big-box home improvement store, though.
