First off what does this mean? What kind of test? That the batteries hold a charge for this duration? That the batteries don't turn into pumpkins at midnight? That the batteries can hold a charge and still operate the SLC. The only duration I can find in 72-2013 that even remotely relates to suppression systems are the same that apply to panels. In a protected premise 24 hours of standby followed by five minutes of full load operation or fifteen minutes if there is voice evacuation. Maybe I'm looking for love in the wring place but it seems to me that if the release relay operates between 24 hours and 24 hours plus five minutes then you've met the criteria.
