Replace small 12V battery with this 48V battery plant, use inverter as needed, to convert to 12V.

Most likely.
Wait tilll you see the other battery plant in my article coming shortly... HUGE. Would you believe one of those batteries is only 2.5 volts? Crazy eh! It's the amps that are high. It can have a load of 200+ amps for 8 hours, or something like that (not sure about the shown ones, but the other ones have a label on them that indicates this)

200 amps? Watch it red, 200 amps is a lot, especially considering 1 or 2 can kill you...

hehe yep, 200 amps. Well when I was taking some readings if I remember well the building was using 150 amps. That's a lot as most other sites use like 50 lol. Many years ago someone dropped a rench on the battery terminals in Toronto, and it caused this huge short circuit and the magnetic field was so powerful cables ripped out of walls, and the batteries exploded. Not sure if he made it alive, but I'm sure he wish he'd be dead! one of these batteries is bigger than the average PC case, imagine like 24 of them blowing up in your face! Scarry stuff. Did I mention it's acid?
