Most fire codes do not differentiate between flooded batteries and sealed, maintenance free batteries. Therefore, any battery room with electrolyte levels as mentioned above requires spill containment. The only way to be sure is to determine which fire code is enforced in your area and then read the code. Or, you can contact PESCO and we will help you determine what you need.
