I don't think its in the NEC at all. Such things are in other codes.

Re: emergemcy light in battery room
Depending on the building, you could look in two places. If it is a public building, office warehouse, etc., your local building code may be the choice. If it is a battery room in a generating plant, switching station, etc., the NESC has requirements for buildings like that which are not subject to the local building codes.

Re: emergemcy light in battery room
I highly doubt the size of the room will require emergancy lighting, as per the IBC.

Re: emergemcy light in battery room
What do you mean by battery room? If the batteries supply power to some sort of life safety function there is a requirement. This is referenced by the FPN in NEC 517.32 to refer to NFPA 101 5.8 5.9
If we are talking about a storage room or a battery charging room, then no.
