[RE-wrenches] Batteries and Working Spaces

[Jason Szumlanski]

I am planning a battery backup system using Fortress 18.5kWh eVaults. Due
to flood level requirements, these are going to need to be mounted about 48
inches above the garage floor on a shelf/platform. That puts the tops of
the battery cabinets well above 6'7". But I believe that these do not fall
under the working space requirements of NEC 110.26 since they are not
likely to require maintenance. In fact, could these be mounted even higher,
say way up near the 14' ceiling (subject to manufacturer spacing
requirements)?

Can anyone see any code problems with this approach, putting aside the
practical problems with mounting heavy battery cabinets well above grade?
