Has anyone else installed batteries in garages?  I
just got called by an inspector today for having a
triple stacked Trace Power Module with eight Dynasty
gels.  He said the battery terminals had to be at
least 18" above the garage floor because they might
generate a spark where there could possibly be
flammable fumes.

Any advice for points to make during diplomatic
discussions with the inspector's boss, who he is
deferring to?
