A DC-DC converter that is between the battery bank and DC loads.

DC-DC converters are used to power appliances that run on a different voltage than the energy storage system supplies. There are two types of DC converters: step-down DC converters (output a lower voltage) and step-up DC converters (output a higher voltage). The majority of loads are designed for use with 12V systems, fewer for 24V systems, and very limited options for use with 48V systems. A step-down DC converter to 12V from 24V or 48V is the most common application.
