Uhh...theres a 48V battery bank, usually in a battery room, sometimes containing hundreds of batteries, as what amounts to a UPS.

A 5ESS, even a small installation, is a many-hundreds-of-amps proposition.
I don't think he's every seen a CO 2V battery. ;-) I couldn't find photos that looked like the units had in the labs.
