I would be surprised if that would be useful:
Cause you do not have the voltage with the Jaguars to put it to use with the steppers most people use.
I haven't put much thought into it, but most of my high power steppers use 50V supplies. I think you'd need a stepper with a fairly unusual set of windings to get 60A from even a solid, trickle charged, online battery.
