Chris, you mentioned extra batteries, who, what, when, where, are more batteries used, other than larger truck, Lorries ?
Only in commercial diesels over here, they use 2 big 12v batteries to run 24v.
If you wanted to run 48v you would need 4 batts unless you make up a 48v battery with 24 2v cells.
Li-on packs need electronics to charge safely so that route is also an expensive one.
It's not just shock hazard - it is bad enough when a 12v battery gets an accidental short - can you imagine the result of getting a spanner between live and earth on 48v?
