For a battery rack's side that does not require maintenance access, there shall be a minimum clearance of 25 mm (1 in.) between the cell container and any wall or structure.
Batteries themselves should be mounted on stands or in cabinets, designed to provide good access, particularly to prevent personnel responsible for servicing from having to reach over batteries. BS EN IEC 62485-2 suggests that to allow for emergency egress from rooms, “an unobstructed escape path shall be maintained” with a minimum width of 600mm.
The space requirements for battery systems must comply with 110.26. Working space is measured from the edge of the battery cabinet, racks, or trays. For battery racks, there is a minimum clearance of 25 mm (1 in.) between a cell container and any wall or structure on the side not requiring maintenance access. (Note: The Passage does not provide information about the total space required for a battery system.)
Battery locations must comply with 480.9 (A) and (B). Requirements for (A) include provisions for sufficient diffusion and ventilation of gases from the battery, if present, to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture. Requirements for (B) include guarding of live parts, which shall comply with 110.27.
Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
A battery room should be located in a way that provides access for lifting equipment to be used during initial installation and future maintenance operations and as free from vibration as practical.
Guidelines for UPS & Battery Storage
Overcharging a battery beyond its safe max voltage (to extend the distance an electric car will run, for example) can permanently damage the battery and lead to thermal runaway.
