I trust that the wall in question is constructed out of studwork rather
than flimsy battens.

Dunno what the definition of a "batten" is but surely it could be made of 2" x
2" . We don't know if the OP's wall is a self standing construction or if the
battens are attached to an existing wall so if the latter then 2" x 1" could
well be sufficient to support the PB .
