    Good way to charge a 12V and 48V system—together

    I've already got a 200 a•hr (12V) battery that is running my RV. It's hooked up to a 2KW Giandel inverter. Works great. But it can't provide 240V the new a/c unit requires.

Now, the voltage I...

    Drawbacks to running everything through the battery even when on shore power?

    I'm planning my build and the only equipment I have so far is the battery and the 7345. Thus, I pretty much have free reign to design and purchase what makes the most sense. I'm also new to planning these so please forgive the newbie errors as I work through this. And I appreciate any insight...
