Thank you, you have given me a few new ideas to think about

maybe I should consider having 2 banks at 48 v rather than 1 12v and 1 48v
and going the dc - dc converter route and just put in a 12v starting battery charged off the 48v banks
the main reason for 2 banks is one charging while the other is in use

I am also a linux user (Debian)

the primary reason for going arduino initially was for proto purposes

Would like to hear more about your designs
