Batteries often used in battery rooms are the flooded lead-acid battery, the valve regulated lead-acid battery or the nickel–cadmium battery. Batteries are installed in groups. Several batteries are wired together in a series circuit forming a group providing DC electric power at 12, 24, 48 or 60 volts (or higher).
In larger battery rooms the use of explosion-proof (EX rated) 230 V equipment should be considered. Only authorised personnel shall have access to the various rooms. Traffic in and out should be logged. It is recommended to provide an access control system which serves all the rooms.
Battery rooms were used to segregate the fumes and corrosive chemicals of wet cell batteries (often lead–acid) from the operating equipment, and for better control of temperature and ventilation. In 1890, the Western Union central telegraph office in New York City had 20,000 wet cells, mostly of the primary zinc-copper type.
The room should be located close to the UPS battery room and if possible the room housing the electrical panel. The room must be ventilated and be equipped with an exhaust removal system. The provision of an exhaust outlet may present problems and thus dictate the location of the room.
The ideal configuration would be two server rooms and two backup rooms. This room is for the installation of UPS units and batteries for data and telephony installations. Large UPS installations (providing more than 50 kVA and with long discharge time) should be located in dedicated UPS and battery rooms.
Separate battery rooms may be provided to protect against loss of the station due to a fire in a battery bank. For stations that are capable of black start, power from the battery system may be required for many purposes including switchgear operations. Very large utility batteries may be used for grid energy storage.
