Aaron,
I have a 100 KW diesel that uses 32 VDC!! Go figure, huh?

I guess some people don't like water-proof electrical systems!
On a side note, the 12V electrical standard for commercial vehicle voltage
(the ONLY good reason to downgrade to 12V), looks like it's going to change
in the not-to-distant future. Hybrid cars are using higher voltages in order
to keep the amps low. Companies have been trying 24V, 48V, 96V, 144V, 275V,
550V systems. One of these days they'll pick a standard. Then maybe people
will convert MVs to 48V... =/

What's your clients reason for changing to 12 v. It seems like one giant
step backward to me!
