Can I connect this unit to a 48VDC battery set and reduce and achieve 12VDC to power a car radio system?

Yes, I have installed a 12V feed to supply power to run lights and did so by purchasing a fused 48V to 24, 12 voltage reducer and installed it in the battery compartment. There are 2 15 amp fused outlets and 2- 24V outlets as well as a fused 48 volt tap. Purchased from one of the Golf Cart Suppliers at a cost of about 30 bucks.

You can try it, and it should work, the unit has a input side for 48 volts and an out put side delivering a reduced 12 volts, I would not think the unit cares or could determine that the 48 volts was from a charger or 8 or 12 volt batteries in series. I am running all me 12 volt items,lights, horn,radio.

Yes, but connect your reducer to the ignition switch not the batteries. Also disconnect your batteries ground before you start to connect any thing.
893235
Yes, depending on how many amps it draws. If you have lights or other accessories you would have to go with a more substantial converter.

you do not have to set anything. Power in is 48v and power out is 12v. Nothing to set or adjust. Be sure you purchase the unit for 48v to 12v. (different voltages are available ie: 48v, 36v, etc.)

Yes you can but you must have at least a 400 Watts continuous 800 Watts peak DC to AC inverter. I will also recommend you to use a Cobra. It works perfectly only on those conditions if you use less than 400 Watts it will shut down. The engine must be running. Hybrid cars can not provide enough energy to the DC to AC inverter.

Good morning Casio, Yes you can use a voltage reducer to step down the voltage from 48V to 12V.

It's runs on 120 volts, car is 12 volts DC. you might be able to run it off an inverter but it would have to be large enough to handle the amp draw.

This unit is for 24V system such as marine application, it will not work in your car which is 12V system

No, not directly. This unit is 120V not 12V. You would need an automotive style 12V-120V inverter to do that.

Depends on your requirements. It will certainly provide 12VDC. As to whether it has the current capacity to meet your needs will take a little math.

Yes, I have this connected to a 12 volt car battery and it works great. Best practice to use a fuse.

none. you have to connect the supplied plug to the 12 volts battery of your car.

I'm not sure of your exact configuration, but I would reduce it to 12v and then from there power each of your accessories. I'm not sure your lights and radio are 36v. I have a club car as well as chose to power my 12v accessories with a separate 12v battery. The battery powers the power block and from there I have each of my accessories powered off of the different circuits on the power block. Hope this helps.

Should work.But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.

To the best of my knowledge, no. However, may I recommend goung to your locsl Radio Shack and purchashing an inverter that plugs into your cigarette lighter. It converts the DC

No. This unit uses 18 and 20 volts on a multipin connector, you could use a small inverter in front of it to run from 12 volts.

no just use 1 12 volt battery if you have a 48 volt system or 2 6 volts if you have a 36 volt sys.

No, you have to connect it to your battery or a/c. You can use the 12 volts that runs the system.

I don't believe you have the adaptor to plug this 18v device directly into your 12v car. You "could" purchase a small voltage converter that puts out 120volt AC voltage, plug that in and then plug the radio into the converter
