Due to safety issues posed by batteries (high available current, hazardous gases, dangerous chemicals) it is always necessary to put batteries in a secure enclosure or room to avoid unauthorized access to them. For small-scale off-grid systems they are typically housed in a battery box that is constructed to the required size of the battery bank. The most common and easy to work with material in most areas is wood, but it is also possible to build a suitable enclosure out of metal or plastic. Batteries should be checked regularly and serviced as needed, therefore it is important that any type of enclosure that they are placed into provides sufficient working space.
