I spoke to an engineer about this very thing three weeks ago. I only know the NSW rules. But as far as the ADRs go it does not change in content for the other states either (though the state can add to the ADR if they wish).

The rules in relation to battery moves do not take new battery technology into consideration. This means that new batteries like the Optima etc that do not vent will still need to be in a sealed box that is secure (is supposed to be able to handle 20g's of force - that is momentary force). The box has to be vented to the outside of the car.

And that is pretty much it, oh yeah. The cables going from the battery etc have to be attached to the body of the car every 4 inches or something. Your best of just following the factory wiring with the new stuff and attach it in all the factory places.
