A battery room is a room that houses batteries for backup or uninterruptible power systems. The rooms are found in telecommunication central offices, and provide standby power for computing equipment in datacenters.
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.
The battery room in a substation is where the batteries are stored. The room is typically located near the substation control room. The room should be large enough to accommodate all of the batteries and have enough space for maintenance work to be performed. The room should also have good ventilation to protect the batteries from overheating.
A battery should be located as close as practical to the load to reduce the cost and exposure of the dc distribution system. The battery room should be designed in a way that provides access for lifting equipment to be used during initial installation and future maintenance operations.
The rooms are found in telecommunication central offices, and provide standby power for computing equipment in datacenters. Batteries provide direct current (DC) electricity, which may be used directly by some types of equipment, or which may be converted to alternating current (AC) by uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment.
The battery room should be as close to the load as practicable to minimize the cost and exposure of the distribution system. The location of the room should be such that batteries are away from flooding, vibrations, and heat from the operating area.

Hydrogen Management in Battery Rooms
Best practice standards such as IEEE documents and fire code state that you must deal with hydrogen in one of two ways: 1) Prove the hydrogen evolution of the battery (using IEEE 1635 / ASHRE 21), or 2) have continuous ventilation in the battery room. Vented Lead Acid Batteries (VLA) are always venting hydrogen through the flame arrester at the ...
