I am looking to convert an RV to a 48V pack. I will still need to step back down to 12V for DC loads in RV. My options are a DC/DC converter or battery with 12V charger. I am weighing those option. Anyone have experience with either? I have been looking at options but one that might force the battery option is if I install an onboard generator that will have 12V starting. That will probably pull 1000w or more. Seems most of the DC/DC converters I am finding won't adjust up to a reasonable float voltage for a battery but probably not a good idea anyway.
I recall seeing where one guy did a battery with 30A charger but was not able to hold all the continuous 12V loads.
I am also curious about idle power or efficiency of the DC converters vs charger setups?
