voltage reducers
What is the voltage reducer of choice around here? I need to go from 48 to 12 volt to run head/tail lights. I have seen them on amazon for $15 and elsewhere for $120. I know you get what you pay for, but that is a big spread. At $120, I may just add a 12v battery to the bagwell and run lights off of it.

I've had mine for almost three years now and couldn't be happier.

Re: voltage reducers
The above linked unit looks very nice for the price. Extra confidence buying from Scotty.
It's a 30 amp unit so you can run a ton of stuff off of it. I went with a 10 amp unit off of amazon for $22. It's enough for my led lights, but I won't have much 'expandability' for anything else. Also I expect my 'service' and 'warranty' to be non existent... |

Re: voltage reducers
Well after thinking about this for a while I ended up just adding a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery to run accessories off of. I already had a 12 volt charger, so only needed the battery. I picked up a group size 24 from Sam's club for $74. I don't know which is better, installing a reducer or adding an extra battery. I hope I am happy with this set up.
