Utility / Substation Spill Containment

Battery Spill Containment Systems

An often overlooked piece to the reserve power battery system is the requirement for spill containment. This standard varies by state, county and municipality. However, in all cases, it necessitates a method for the absorption, capture and neutralization of corrosive acid or caustic base electrolyte for flooded wet cell lead-acid or nickel-cadmium battery cells as outlined under Article 64, Section 6401.99.1 as adopted by the UBC, UFC, NFPA & OSHA building standards. 

Exponential Power offers a variety of systems suited for new installation or retrofit. The system has 9 different size spill pans that can be buttoned together in different combinations to form different spill containment system lengths and widths. We provide pillows and connectors that hold the pans together. Your rack will fit inside our spill containment system.  If you are mounting the racks to the floor, drill through the pans where needed and silicone the bolt and hole to provide a 100% leak proof system.
