Yes talk to telco Engineers from the power side of the biz and they will have war stories about accidents and close misses with the Central Offices (Exchanges) DC power.
High Voltage/Amperage DC is quiet different to AC power and i suspect that building/wiring codes are going to need to be updated if this local storage takes off.
dropped a wrench across the terminals on the deep cycle backup batteries inside a telco switching center. Had to disconnect the whole bank of batteries to fix it because the wrench welded itself to the terminals. it wasn't a tack weld either.
