[RE-wrenches] Listed Battery Enclosure?

[Jason Szumlanski]

I agree. Eliminate the "enclosure" and you eliminate his complaint. Just
make them accessible only to authorized personnel and provide adequate
working space. That should work.

I've never understood how a metallic battery enclosure is safer than a
non-conductive enclosure, regardless of combustibility. Imagine something
really heavy falling on a metallic covered enclosure and causing a battery
short.

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?
