Its just over 10 years since I've used lead acid batteries as the lo
noise power option for a low phase noise reference source use in the
development of a jitter measurement instrument , we used discrete regs
rather than '317s etc, it worked fine but I can't pass on the details.
I still have the reference without the batteries which went for
recycling long ago, the possible new twist I've not seen noise data on
is not batteries but Ultracapacitors intended for regenerative breaking:

It's nice to try something new and being new might be a way to sidestep
environmental concerns.
