Looking for the most efficient use of the battery power and the kit to
achieve it. Old APC's are easy enough to track down on ebay but normally
only have standard AC outputs so I'm guessing you would connect both an APC
and Ethernet direct to the batteries?

stupid question.
Normally, power supplies convert from AC to DC.
If you wire DC into an outlet, and plug an AC power supply into it, will it
just cut down the DC to whatever that P/S is supposed to provide to the POE
unit, and pass the rest ?
i.e. Solar 48V -> 24V Batteries -> 24VDC -> Outlets w
It certainly won't work with a linear power supply- the transformer at
the input will not accept a DC input. I'm not 100% sure whether it will
work with a switching mode power supply. Most likely not because the
input voltage would be below the rated AC input voltage. Also the input
rectifie
