I suppose if you want to be fussy, the DC will be lumpy every 120
degrees,
but hey, thats what lead acid batteries like being charged by....

Rectified three phase into a battery makes a quiet DC source.



No, not that quiet. Otherwise we wouldn't have "alternator whine." And
there is a "bump" every 60 degrees (full wave rectification). However, due
to the higher frequency of the ripple, 3 phase is easier to filter to make
pure DC. I imagine that's what everyone here means to say?
