EEngr et al.

Many thanks for post 715 and following discussing the effect of AC on "DC oriented" power plants. I fully agree with what has been written, having seen these effects as well on large-ish power plants requiring paralleled cells. Having had a slightly different internal resistance was enough to have them sent across Jordan.
This applies more and more to low ESR battery packs - the more current they can deliver, the more dramatic are the (very small) differences within the internal resistances of the batteries.
We've always considered the AC behaviour of our DC installations and I would be very surprised if the engineers at the LiIon battery developer hadn't considered this.

Anyway, thanks for the update, and I'll keep on reading...
