We've had batteries on our driver station the past two years. The first time we got inspected there was some fuss but the inspector was unable to find a rule against it. We have a classmate, another netbook, and indicator lights. The design was a factor in us winning the Innovation in Control Award at Chesapeake in 2010

I say if you have use for (and can safely move) several monitors go for it!
