What’s with this battery spacing?

Hate to a dog see put down for doing his job. Always have your pets current with vaccinations and keep the records.

One building per 5kWh...

Don't forget to make it the minimum recommended size.

If one ignorant not naive) inspector is eaten and the remnants remain, that would solve many wannabe trespassers... I would not actually condone that, but just a thought. My general contractor friend had one pit bull chained at a job site, inspector showed up unannounced and walked up to the dog and got bit. He left, was the city attorney, friend immediately put the dog down and had it examined for rabies, got the phone call from the attorney... ended the conversation with "I took care of it, I had the dog...etc."

Ignorance spawns many bad things.

Shouldn't have put the dog down for that. It was the inspectors fault NOT the dogs. I wouldn't put any of my dogs down for that. Learn to pay attention and have warning signs. Anyone gets bit that's on them and not the dog or me. Every edge of my property line had warning signs for both trespassing and beware of dogs. Even the county council admitted if he would have gotten chomped it would have been HIS fault for ignoring the signs. Funny thing was he called animal control and they told him there was nothing they could do as I have it clearly marked beware of dogs. They knew me so well they didn't even come out anymore unless one got loose and then they just put them back in the fence and left ?

Unfortunately, when an unvaccinated pet of the type that has the potential of carrying rabies bites even a despicable human, the only way to be sure of rabies is to autopsy the brain of the pet?. In most places this is this is required. If the animal was positive or can’t be found, person must immediately undergo expensive rabies prevention treatments, between costing between 10000 and $20,000 in the US. As many as 40,000 people undergo rabies treatments annually here.

I know we are waaaay off topic of the battery spacing and I got great info and reasons regarding my question Thanks All

Love it!

If this install uses new stock, the spacing is unnecessary as it passes UL 9540A. Perhaps they got a deal on older stock and had to space them.

Technically as I understand it the UL9540A test documents need to identify a spacing criteria to be able to use something tighter than the default. So just 9540A isn't enough.

You are correct. The latest brochure that lists the certification has a QR code link to the latest installation document. In that document the only thing that I can find is a minimum distance of .500” between multiple units. Not that I plan on owning one but my curiosity has got me, so I’ve sent a query.

 

[Oldphile]

When the inverter and battery are UL9540 listed together and the installation instructions show spacing less than 3' then it's a permitted exception.

The very latest product info: https://www.fortresspower.com/wp-co.../Fortress-Power-eFlex-Installation-Manual.pdf

There it is; The unit wasn’t tested in a wall mounted configuration! What a major failure in having a product test done.

 

[Skypower]

The latest brochure still shows minimum distance between units as .500” so this must refer to ground mounts. No requirements from walls or other objects, where ground mount is concerned (that I could find). So it may come down to how behind the times, uninformed or how much of a power trip your local jurisdiction has as to the installation. Gets me wondering if Eg4 had their system certified in the rack mount?
