Don't do it! ...use a dc to dc converter to step down to each bus 12v 24v
etc. and then just hook up the equipment thru breakers to each bus

Subject: [RE-wrenches] unique battery bank design question


Hello wrenches, 

I have a battery bank questions.  I have an Oil & Gas client interested in
setting up an off-grid control system that has a various DC loads at 12VDC,
24 VDC and 48 VDC.  My thought is to build a 48 V battery bank and tap off
the bank at various points to create a 12V bus, 24V bus and 48V bus.  I am a
bit concerned about unequal loading of the batteries.  Has anyone dealt with
something like this that would like to share some insight?

Thanks
