24v all-in-one ac/dc distribution panel?

[thenunzzz]

Ive searched around on the forum and couldn't the answer I'm looking for. I am building a 24v LifePo4 system and need to decide on a ac/dc distribution.
This is a nice unit all-in-one panel Explorist.Life uses, but in the questions on Amazon is says it can't be used on 24v systems. Do you know of any good ac/dc AIO distribution panels?

I do not know why they say it will not work with 24 Volts. I do not see any circuitry that the 24V would hurt. All the connections should be able to handle 24v just fine.

Ohh sweet that would be awesome, I like that unit. Seems like it would be perfect for me.

Yes I like it as well, nice clean and compact.

Marine equipment (often pricey, sometimes not) is frequently rated to ~32VDC, I would see whats available through some of the marine shops and suppliers (baymarinesupply.com, westmarine.com, bluesea.com)

Are all your DC components 24v? If not, are you going to step down the DC voltage before it hits that panel?

I asked wfco and they confirm the panels support 24vdc

My dc components should all be 12v, so yes a step down will somehow have to happen.

Well if all your components are 12 volt you will likely want to convert from 24 to 12 volts before you hit the panel.

As a general point, don't have too much faith in Amazon question/answers when it comes to electronical questions (this probably applies to most technical areas). Almost every electrical component I have looked at on Amazon has someone confidently answering a question about Volts in Watts, or Amps in Volts, or Volts in Amps, and so on. Even the sellers often get basic details fundamentally wrong.

In this case though I can see why the answerer was confused, it shouldn't require someone e-mailing the manufacturer to learn the safe voltage range of a product, and the documentation only referenced '12vdc'

Agreed. Your going to need 12v supply often, your panel should be after the converter.
