1206.2.8.3 Stationary Battery Arrays

Fire Code 2018 of Colorado > 12 Energy Systems > 1206 Electrical Energy Storage Systems > 1206.2 Stationary Storage Battery Systems > 1206.2.8 Location and Construction > 1206.2.8.3 Stationary Battery Arrays
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Storage batteries, prepackaged stationary storage battery systems and preengineered stationary storage battery systems shall be segregated into stationary battery arrays not exceeding 50 kWh (180 megajoules) each. Each stationary battery array shall be spaced not less than 3 feet (914 mm) from other stationary battery arrays and from walls in the storage room or area. The storage arrangements shall comply with Chapter 10.
Exceptions:
  1. Lead-acid and nickel-cadmium storage battery arrays.
  2. Listed preengineered stationary storage battery systems and prepackaged stationary storage battery systems shall not exceed 250 kWh (900 megajoules) each.
  3. The fire code official is authorized to approve listed, preengineered and prepackaged battery arrays with larger capacities or smaller battery array spacing if large-scale fire and fault condition testing conducted or witnessed and reported by an approved testing laboratory is provided showing that a fire involving one array will not propagate to an adjacent array, and be contained within the room for a duration equal to the fire-resistance rating of the room separation specified in Table 509 of the International Building Code.
