To Battery Or Not To Battery (12 Volt)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sEvxjdLW-o

Jay's Audio Lab interviews Danny from GR Research about Danny's 12 volt battery power setup. I am not going to pay for a $17,000.00 Stromtank, but the discussed battery arrangement looks more doable though I would prefer it in kit form which Danny just might want to do though the liability costs might be prohibitive.

I don't think I want that mess in my audio room. My streamer (Aurender W20SE) runs on a battery and looks good. I have heard preamps that operate on batteries, very low noise floor.

As a woodworker I could dress that up in a vented cherry wood box, but the off-gassing of the batteries inside a home might be a problem. Of course, one could place the whole assembly outside and wire it into the house. Then the problem becomes very cold weather and that effect on the batteries. Probably battery heaters would be required.
