The maximum energy rating per ESS unit is 20 kWh. The maximum kWh capacity per location is also specified—80 kWh when located in garages, accessory structures, and outdoors and 40 kWh in utility closets or storage spaces. For storage capacities that exceed these limits, non-residential requirements come into play (NFPA 855 Chapters 4-9).

In order to have a UL 9540-listed energy storage system (ESS), the system must use a UL 1741-certified inverter and UL 1973-certified battery packs that have been tested using UL 9540A safety methods. It’s quite a UL-mouthful, but basically, the batteries and inverter inside a UL 9540-certified ESS have all met product safety standards.
