Earthquake safety requirements in CA. Probably not an issue in Florida. Ask your building department!

Keeping that reasonably accessible would be important. Also, just out of curiosity, how are you planning of getting these battery cabinets onto their 4' platform? Forklift? Ramp?

Due to flood level requirements, these are going to need to be mounted about 48 inches above the garage floor on a shelf/platform. That puts the tops of the battery cabinets well above 6'7". But I believe that these do not fall under the working space requirements of NEC 110.26 since they are not likely to require maintenance. In fact, could these be mounted even higher, say way up near the 14' ceiling (subject to manufacturer spacing requirements)? Can anyone see any code problems with this approach, putting aside the practical problems with mounting heavy battery cabinets well above grade?
