DC Converters are being used in battery driven lift trucks as well as materials handling equipment. Want to install an electrical device onto you forklift? Keep in mind that a worklight or a light beacon usually need an input of 12V or 24V. A traction battery on the other hand has a higher voltage, such as 48V. To install these components correctly a DC convertor comes in to play. The DC converter lowers the voltage provided by the 48V battery by use of electronics and is able to provide a regulated voltage to the load. In this case the desired 12V or 24V.
