Long time ago there was 32v systems, battery banks were managed buy the owner, still have the old generator.   Quote   Why not inspect battery banks and educate people No, Absolutely not No way should an inspection be encouraged. Its starts out that way then there will be regular inspections then fees, then -------------I don't wont to give them any ideas so will leave that out-------------, well think of the worst that could happen and it would be worse than that, once laws get in you will never get rid of them in this country they only ever get more strict not less. The solar installations that have caused fire or damage (roof mounted disconnects high voltage grid tied battery) have been approved Grid Tie systems?  not so much diy stuff I know you mean well and good intentions but the authority will just screw it all up, they always do. we know There are guidelines for installations so we should stick with that. "a simple copy of plans to make their batteries safe" Totally agree,  this sort of thing should be made available from who ever you buy the batteries off, they should be able help out with what the user wants.
