According to NFPA 855, individual energy storage system units should generally be separated by at least three feet, unless the manufacturer has conducted large-scale fire testing (part of UL 9540A) to prove a smaller distance is safe. This prevents a fault in one unit from spreading. . Working space shall be measured from the edge of the battery cabinet, racks, or trays. For battery racks, there shall be a minimum clearance of 25 mm (1 in. Battery stands shall be permitted to. . In New York City alone, lithium-ion battery fires surged nearly ninefold – from 30 in 2019 to 268 in 2023 – illustrating how quickly these incidents can escalate (New York Post). One Moss Landing-scale event can stall a funding round or force a product recall. Large-scale fire test results are encouraging — they suggest that even tightly clustered battery containers might not propagate fire. . When installing energy storage battery cabinets, maintaining proper safety distances isn't just a recommendation - it's a critical design parameter that impacts: "A 2023 industry report revealed 38% of battery storage incidents could have been prevented through proper spacing compliance. " - Energy. . NFPA 855 sets the rules in residential settings for each energy storage unit—how many kWh you can have per unit and the spacing requirements between those units.
