I watched the following video over the weekend and, although it took a while for him to get to the examples, I was quite impressed once he did. Basically, he shows several examples of how he uses step down converters and other devices to run electronics that typically require AC power straight from DC power.
Why is this important? Because it makes more efficient use of your battery bank, and if all you have is a battery bank to keep everything you rely on powered, then it’s wise to ensure your electronics are as efficient as possible.
In some cases, it’s not much of an improvement, but in others this conversion can be a big deal. And as you might suspect, every little bit of savings counts when power is finite. It’s a good video to sit and watch if you have any interest in off-grid power and what’s possible:
