Lead-Acid (LA) and Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries vent hydrogen and oxygen when they are being charged. In the case of Valve-Regulated designs, the hydrogen is recombined with the oxygen within the battery back into water unless the gassing volume/pressure exceeds the opening setting of the pressure relief valve. Hence the name Valve-Regulated. Oxygen gas is

Where should lead acid batteries be located?
Lead acid batteries shall be located in rooms with outside air exchange or in well-ventilated rooms, arranged in a way that prevents the escape of fumes, gases, or electrolyte spray into other areas. Ventilation shall be provided to ensure diffusion of the gases from the battery and prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture.
Do vented lead acid batteries need a separate battery room?
Vented lead acid batteries do not always require a separate, dedicated battery room when installed in medium voltage main substation buildings and unit substations, electrical equipment rooms, and control system rack rooms. However, the battery room and installation must comply with SES E14-S02, IEEE 484, NFPA 70, and OSHA 29 CFR.
What standards are used in a battery room?
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.
Do cabinets with VRLA batteries need a sign kit?
In addition, cabinets with VRLA batteries have a separate requirement to identify the details of the battery system, electrical, chemical and fire hazards. Remember New York City B-29 Certificate of Fitness requires a specialized sign kit for all five boroughs.
Does a battery rack need to be NEBS certified?
Even if a company installs a NEBS-certified battery rack in a site, the building inspector can still require the rack to be certified to IBC or any other building code that city or state has adopted. Which seismic code or standard is the best fit?
How is battery room compliance interpreted?
Battery room compliance can be interpreted differently depending on your battery type, amount of cells or multi-cell units in a common area, volume of electrolyte and voltage present. Although the code is specific about requirements, the local interpretation can vary depending on the end users experience or awareness.
