With power supplies set to 27v, we do tend to see it drop by a few volts when it switches to battery power - we actually use that to monitor when we're running on batteries. I guess the voltage going to high might be a problem if you had a really small load though. Ideally, I suppose you'd want

I use the 155B as well and I find the biggest thing to factor is voltage loss. We do 27.3 volts to charge and by the time it gets up to the Powerbox up top, it's down a volt or two. Then the voltage to the equipment tends to be 23-25 volts. As was said, though, 27v should work just fine
