Hi Dave,

        There actually is an easy answer: DC to DC converter.

And yes, above 48v on PoE is generally bad even though it might work on some systems.

Hello

I have what I'm guessing is a really easy to answer question:

Is 59.2vDC an unacceptably high voltage to send through a POE injector
to a net4526?

I've salvaged a bank of lithium batteries and charger from an electric
scooter, and while I'm suspecting that there are enough amp hours there
to run the board for "a very long time" without charging, I'd like to
use those amp hours for other things, so I'd like to use the charger
while the board is in operation. The charger's logic  appears to have
voltage top out at around 59.2v, and maintenance is around 56v.  The
former scares me a bit.  Will the board tolerate that?  Is there
something I should add to the circuit to protect the board while the
charger is operating?  The cat5 run from the injector to the board is in
the 5-8' range.

I've tried finding a concise answer to this question with some extensive
googling to no avail aside from two documents that mention "absolute
maxium voltage = 68vDC.  That's not enough to make me feel secure about
my magic smoke, hence... I ask :)

Thanks in advance,

Dave Parker
