So I would assume that a battery bank would constitute ripple free DC. I can't see how they can fine you for a battery bank under that voltage. Except if they point to safety matters or the miriad of other Australian Standards that are about for battery installations. I only have a 24 volt battery bank but they are in plywood boxes with vents in the top and bottom at the ends. They are also Valve Regulated lead acid batteries. I have latches on the boxes so that they can be locked too. But no one comes where who is likely to go poking their fingers in my battery boxes. Pete
