two-tier battery rack
Explanation:
OK, it is parsed correctly. "Chantier" can mean "rack" and does seem to be the term used for battery racks. See the link below to the relevant page of the "Dictionary of Electrical Engineering: English, German, French, Dutch, Russian" ed. Y.N. Luginsky https://bit.ly/2Su1T8x

neutral  B D Finch: Quelles "termes techniques" ?// I don't see any reference to "dedicated" or "cabinets" in the source text and how do you link the source text to any term in your reference?

disagree  Daryo: "cabinets" are not "shelves" => these are NOT 2 synonyms - which one is supposed to be the right translation?

neutral  Daryo: multi-shelves battery rack?

  -> A rack doesn't necessarily have shelves. In fact, it might be a safety feature to have rails rather than shelves. If it was multi-tier, I think it'd be "à étages".
