I'll note that for me, personally, batteries are a ballast of last resort, only slightly preferable to a sturdy bucket of nuts and bolts. If I have options that don't include a 12 lb portable welding power supply, I'd much rather go with those options.

So I'm not saying I think batteries as ballast are necessarily wise, just that the legality seem in question. Much like using an RS550 in a stall-likely application is legal but foolish.
