1. An energy storage unit mounting facility, comprising
a rack-like or frame-like basic body comprising stanchions extending in a vertical direction and first and second crosspieces extending horizontally between the stanchions, which defines multiple mounting regions arranged vertically on top of one another for at least one respective electric energy storage unit, wherein the respective electric energy storage unit is introducible into and removable from the respective mounting region in a horizontal direction, wherein each electric energy storage unit has an electric energy storage unit holder;
respective conveyors arranged on the first crosspieces in each mounting region perpendicular to the horizontal direction by which the respective electric energy storage unit is introducible into and removable and that laterally span the respective mounting region and configured to introduce and remove the respective electric energy storage unit into and from the respective mounting region in the horizontal direction, wherein the respective conveyors in each mounting region extend perpendicularly from respective crosspieces; and
securing devices configured to secure the respective electric energy storage unit introduced into the respective mounting region in the respective mounting region, comprising:
first securing devices connected to the stanchions that extend parallel to the horizontal direction and having a portion that extends vertically parallel to the horizontal direction and configured to mate with a portion of each respective electric energy storage unit holder; and
the second crosspieces configured as second securing devices configured to hold each respective electric energy storage unit laterally in the respective mounting region,
wherein for each respective mounting region the first securing devices and the second securing devices are arranged vertically above the respective conveyors arranged in each mounting region.
