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 appliances and lightingare designed for use with 12 V systems, fewer for 24 V systems, and very limited options for use with 48 V systems. A step-down DC converter to 12 V from 24 V or 48 V is the most common application.
