It's OK. The Code sections that prevented putting batteries under
BOS equipment have to do with working clearance. You must be able to
walk up to the equipment to service it, and a large enclosure of
flooded batteries prevents that.<br>
<br>
GTWB systems use sealed batteries stacked in enclosures that are
much shallower and don't prevent such access. If you look at
Outback's PS1 or current successor, the breakers are all more or
less in plane with the front of the battery enclosure, and thus
compliant. Midnite enclosures, with the breakers on the sides, are
not compliant, as Robin has acknowledged, but it has never been a
problem for us as the breakers are still easy to access.<br>

<div>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. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I could find nothing in 690 or 480 that states this placement
is non-compliant. Did I give up too soon in my search? </div>
