RE: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries
Here's an outfit offering an LFP battery conversion for the Prevost crowd: Volta Power Systems. I think they have a connection with Pantera Coach. Their solution is a complete swap out of the alternator, voltage regulator, inverters, battery bank, and battery equalizer, with the addition of a 48V to 12V DC-to-DC converter. To me it looks like a bunch of off-the-shelf parts. My guess is the DC-to-DC converter pushed them into the 48VDC world. I have yet to find a 24V to 12V DC converter able to supply a continuous 100 amps of current, and apparently they couldn't either. The 48V solution is okay for new builds, but it's a tough $30K sale for the poor M450 owner who simply wants an LFP "upgrade"!
