Question
Is it the intent of the code to have each individual battery cabinet ducted to an exhaust system?
Answer Published 09/28/2012 at 10:05 AM
The answer to the question is, "NO."
The cabinet must be ventilated and the room that the
cabinet is in must also be ventilated, but the code is
silent with respect to cabinet ventilation to an
exhaust system.

Commentary
Caution should be taken to not "void" the design and
listings associated with the cabinet as a finished product.
Manufacturer's recommendations must also be followed.
