The proposed Tentative Interim Amendment to the National Electrical Safety Code C2-2017 is to recognize new battery technologies, applications, and their hazards. The current section 14 is written around flooded lead-acid batteries. There are many other battery materials today and the list of potential materials continues to grow. The application that is primarily driving this change are batteries used to store energy for the electric grid. Many of these technologies are hazardous to personnel. This TIA is to expedite this code change since the deployment of these new technologies is moving so quickly and the hazards are significant
