[RE-wrenches] Battery Placement

[Darryl Thayer]

HI I am on road no code book, but I remember clearances in 110 the electrical equipment is considered to be in one plane if the fronts are with in 6" of each other.  When faced with a similar problem I added spacers to the equipment to resolve.  
 
Good luck

Have grid-tie w/Battery back-up system under way. Due to changes beyond my control, I am now faced with the possibility of placing two MNBE cabinets underneath and to the side of inverter (Concorde batteries).  I had always avoided this practice but have choice of either that or very long cable runs of 30+ feet. 
 
I could find nothing in 690 or 480 that states this placement is non-compliant. Did I give up too soon in my search?
