6 FAQs about [Energy storage batteries require certification]
What is battery testing & certification?
Battery testing and certification ensure home storage systems' quality and safety. A battery constantly has energy being cycled in and out of it, and that puts a real strain on the chemical and mechanical systems that keep batteries functional and safe.
What are the most common battery testing standards & certifications?
Below are some of the most common battery testing standards and certifications to look for when comparing home batteries. This is an overall certification for what UL calls "Energy Storage Systems" - ESS for short. A UL 9540 ESS has a UL 1973-certified battery pack (more details below) and a UL 1741-certified inverter (also more information below).
Can a large energy storage system be certified?
no way to complete a regular certification.This is common when a large energy storage system is already installed in a location already but must be evaluated. A qualified inspector must examine that specific system in the field and place the certification safety mark on the system once it
Why should you certify a battery?
A battery constantly has energy being cycled in and out of it, and that puts a real strain on the chemical and mechanical systems that keep batteries functional and safe. Testing and certifying batteries by internationally recognized standards ensures you get a high-quality product that will deliver when needed.
