Technical FAQs 4

What are the requirements for a stationary battery ventilation system?

Ventilation systems for stationary batteries must address human health and safety, fire safety, equipment reliability and safety, as well as human comfort. The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration.

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.

What temperature should a battery be kept at?

For optimal battery performance, the battery room temperature should be maintained at a constant 77°F. Temperatures below 77°F increase the battery’s life but decrease its performance during heavy discharge. In room temperatures above 77°F, battery performance increases but its life decreases. 2.

What are the requirements for a lead-acid battery ventilation system?

The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration. 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.
