What are the legal requirements for lead-acid batteries?

The legal requirements for lead-acid batteries in relation to “end of useful life” are such that they should be disposed in a manner that is appropriate to the current laws and regulations within the state. The storage of the batteries has to be such that it conforms to the safety rules and regulations.

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 are the requirements for a battery storage system?

Ventilation shall be provided to ensure diffusion of the gases from the battery to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture. Racks and trays shall be substantial and treated to be resistant to the electrolyte. Floors shall be of an acid resistant construction or be protected from acid accumulations.

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 flooded lead-acid batteries need ventilation?

Flooded lead-acid batteries must be provided with a dedicated ventilation system that exhausts outdoors and prevents circulation of air in other parts of the building. VRLA batteries require comparatively lower ventilation, usually enough to remove heat and gases that might be generated.
