ABSTRACT:
A battery spill containment system and method are provided for containing a hazardous spilled substance from at least one industrial battery in service as a back-up power supply. The system comprises a containment rail system to define a perimeter to accommodate the at least one industrial battery; a flexible liner for placement within the perimeter defined by the containment rail system, the flexible liner having a base and an edge, wherein the edge rises at least about four inches above the base, the flexible liner being resistant to damage from the spilled substance; and a material for placement within the perimeter defined by the containment rail system, the material to absorb and chemically neutralize the spilled substance from the at least one industrial battery so that the hazardous nature of the spilled substance to humans or material structures is reduced, wherein the containment rail system is mounted to the floor whereby battery lifting equipment can be used to access the at least one industrial battery for servicing or replacement.
