Wrenches,

I am undecided at how to power an e-meter on a 48 volt system. The
prescaler supplies the meter with an accurate lower voltage signal, but
I need less than 50 volts to power the meter. I have always thought it a
bad idea to center tap a battery bank to obtain lower a voltage... the
e-meter maxes out at 150 mA fully lit and around 50 mA in normal sleep
mode. Do list members think it would be "bad" to draw 1.2 Ah in 24
hours, off a center tap connection to power a small meter load?

Todd
