The serverrack batteries are in my opinion one of the best options for power storage and when I bought mine, which is 6 EG4 life power4 in the six slot server rack battery. It was the best option available at that time. But I’m looking for an upgrade of storage.. And I’m sure we could all agree that the one downside of the server rack, batteries is the amount of space that it takes on the floor so my plans are to mount the 14 kW wall mount indoor battery on each side of the case of my server rack. And I believe the overall dimensions would be smaller than two server rack cases. Although the total output would be about 2 kW short of a double 6 slot server rack. Has anyone mounted the wall mounts on the side of the six slot server rack if so, I would love to see a picture to see how you mounted it and how it turned out

I thought about adding EG4 to to a 42U server rack. This must have been discussed before and I doubt I'm the first to think of it.
This would take up as much square inches on the floor, but with a static weight of 1600 LBS and the batteries weighing about 100 LBS each, I'm not sure how many they'd fit, but more than 6 batteries would fit. Probably run out of space before weight.
I know this new rack would not be UL certified and would exceed the 20 kWh max storage capacity for a single UL rated residential battery unit.
I have fortress eFlex batteries and have a space problem like you have if I want to go more kWh of storage. For me, I am out of vertical space under the inverter, and will have to get an odd sized non-matching battery to fit in the remaining space besides the inverter.
