I understood one of the issues with different dc voltage was the chassis banks were 24v and the house bank was 12 volt. would it not be better to use all 24volt inverter chargers and banks then step down the house dc output to 12volt appliance demand (mostly audio and lights). the house would power the inverters with 24volt but power the other 12 volt demand with 1/2 of a set of batteries in series. there is not much of a 12 volt demand anymore anyway.

the construction equipment chassis that run 24volt often have a bunch of 12volt demand. On Bus chassis that are 24volt, is it just the Detroit starter motor that require 24volt?. seems too simple to work , so I must be missing the entire need or advantage to go 24 volt.
