Intrigues me what situation would use 76Vdc (not a multiple of 6, 12, 24

Is it possible to tap a lower DC voltage and use an off the shelf 12vdc to
110vac inverter.

Ya know, the numbers didn't add up, (but what do I know) so after dinner I called the guy to get more information. The source of the DC power is 6-12v batteries (in series) so the voltage could be anywhere from 72vDC (6x12) up to 79.2vDC (6x13.2). He picked 76 volts "cuz it's in the middle".

So knowing what I now know, I'm looking for an inverter that can handle 72-79.2vDC input and 110vAC output. The output current will be about 10 amps @ 110vAC. I hope this cleared this matter up.

Some times a client will ask me for a mouse, so I find him a mouse, ship him a mouse, bill him for a mouse and then I get a nasty email calling me names, telling me that I shipped the smallest moose the client has ever seen. I guess today,I've been looking for mouse when the client wanted a moose.
