I am converting a short bus for camping.
Ultimately I plan to install a 48V battery plant, DC heat pump and solar on the roof. I am leaning towards using a 100Ah server battery. I like the build quality and the compact, easy to install, integrated construction that server batteries provide.
But, on an interim basis I would like to install a 12V, 100Ah plant, charged by the vehicle alternator9 to power lower power loads - refrigerator, lighting etc. There will be a separate, protected start battery.
Looking for suggestions on how to stage the build so that the initial 12V plant can be incorporated into the ultimate 48V plant.
Thanks!
