Stationary storage battery systems shall not be located in areas where the floor is located more than 75 feet (22 860 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, or where the floor level is more than 30 feet (9144 mm) below the finished floor of the lowest level of exit discharge.
Where stationary batteries are contained in cabinets in occupied work centers, the cabinet enclosures shall be located within 10 feet (3048 mm) of the equipment that they support. The room contains energized battery systems. The room contains energized electrical circuits.
Several factors need to be considered when designing a battery room floor. For VRLA batteries the simplest of protection is normally acceptable but rooms housing vented battery types need to be impermeable for battery acid or alkaline for nickel cadmium types.
Battery systems shall be allowed to be in the same room with the equipment they support. Storage batteries, prepackaged stationary storage battery systems and preengineered stationary storage battery systems shall be segregated into stationary battery arrays not exceeding 50 kWh (180 megajoules) each.
