[RE-wrenches] NEC for Batteries < 60v ??

Hi Everyone;

I'm updating all my verbage on plansets, and I just realized that the 
newly created article 706 covering Energy Storage Systems is only for 
Over 60 VDC (706.1)  Also article 480 for batteries only requires 
disconnecting means over 60 VDC ?! (480.7).   I'm not about to not have 
a disconnect, so now that NEC pulled battery systems out of 690,  where 
do we go for guidance on normal battery systems: 12, 24, 48 VDC?

Overall, I welcome most of the changes in NEC 2017, like separating off 
grid systems into articles 706, and 710, but it seems us off grid 
installers need some more clarification.

Thanks,
