Hi all,
I have had this system in about 4 years now, I really want to move over to lithium battery system however it's too expensive for me to do so on a 48v system.
What options do I have to convert the battery output from 24v to 48v with an inverter. I am aware this will effect my AH output of the battery system too.
Thanks in adavance.
This is not practical to do. Basically, you'd need a DC-DC converter which can provide 200A constantly and 400A peak. If you could find something like that it'd likely cost a lot more than a 24V MultiPlus. Then the losses would be quite high.
I'm curious as to how you have managed to find a 24V battery system cheaper than the multitude of 48V batteries available. I tried to find sensibly priced 24V battery systems and the 48V options were always cheaper all in. Even a set of cells for a DIY build 24V bank cost a lot more than a Pylontech battery set - for example.
what I mean by cheaper is if I was to buy a lithium battery system at 48v it would cost me a lot more than a lithium battery system at 24v. I currently used AGM Marathon battery's however some need replacing. Might just replace if its going to cost me a new inverter.
split the bank in two and run them in series so you have 48V .
