[RE-wrenches] Does anybody know if the LG Prime 16 battery has been test to UL9540A standards that would allow units to be closer than three feet apart?

A new inspector asked a new question.

 

>From my studies tonight it looks like UL9540A is not a listing but a test
standard and in fact UL has a database of batteries that have been test to
the A standard which according to UL can allow (with AHJ approval) less than
3-feet separation between batteries.

The database not the easiest and LG is in there but cannot ascertain if for
the Prime 16 so thought I'd share what I've learned and ask if others run
across same.

The IRC 328 section requires UL9540. But it also requires 3-feet unless
tested in fire conditions for battery to battery inducement of thermal
runaway. Anybody have any insight or recommendations?
