Jeremy,Is the inspector citing a specific code rule, necessitating a "listed"
battery enclosure? If no such code rule exists then he is likely unfamiliar
with the requirement and is shooting for 'something'.I have not seen or heard
of such an enclosure, but there are requirements for proper venting of gas and
restricting access. So build an appropriate box with adequate ventilation and
make it lockable or make the room that contains it lockable.benn

I agree, Brian; especially when the battery system is large. It's
important to design the room so it can be in compliance with NEC
480.9. (A) Ventilation, (B) Guarding live parts. The locked door
qualifies, and (C) Working space.

Jeremy,
Sometimes
the best “enclosure” is a locked room. Is it possible in
this case to wall off the space and provide a locked door
with a sign reading “Authorized Personnel Only” on the door?

Wrenches,
I
am looking to install some Surrette dual container
batteries. 24- 2v cells and the inspector is looking for a
'listed' enclosure.
Any
takes on this?
