(ET) 48v ET

[robert winfield <winfield100 yahoo com>]

Is a 48v ET doable? It would make things much simpler.
I could yank out that dratted charger and squeeze 4
batteries in that area. E12
Obviously it wouldn't void the warrenty but would it
fry the components with 33% more voltage. (visions of
Tim "tooltime" breaking stuff)
I am setting up Photovoltaics to do my charging
(shortage of big wattage PV in the US, Germany, soon
Italy and Spain are greening their countries with
federal subsidies so our prices are up)
24 and 48 volts seem a lot easier to get components
for
