Utility-scale lithium-ion battery transporters

An apparatus comprising:

• a trailer;
• an pneumatic suspension system disposed on the trailer to reduce road vibrations at a top surface of the trailer during transport;
• a plurality of isolator springs mounted on the top surface of the trailer;
• an isolation platform supported by the plurality of isolator springs, wherein each isolator spring is to reduce trailer vibrations on the isolation platform;
• and
• a plurality of lithium-ion batteries to store energy at a utility-scale, wherein the plurality of lithium-ion batteries is secured to the isolation platform in an operational state, and wherein the plurality of lithium-ion batteries remain energized in the operational state during transportation.

A method comprising:

• dampening forces exerted on an isolation platform with a plurality of isolators;
• mounting a rack of lithium-ion batteries to store energy at a utility-scale to the isolation platform;
• transporting the lithium-ion batteries in an operational state from a first location to a second location, wherein the lithium-ion batteries is racked during transportation;
• and
• collecting force data of forces exerted on the lithium-ion batteries during transportation.
