It's harder to step DC than AC, you'd probably end up using a switching power supply, which gets you most of the way to an AC inverter.

- amelius 3y agoYes, but once you have DC your losses will be less.
- Johnny555 3y agoLess than what? If you're converting DC->AC->DC to step it up, why not just convert DC->AC next to the battery, then AC->DC or just use the AC directly like you would in a motor at the point of use?
- amelius 3y agoBecause with a large DC voltage you have less transmission losses than with a comparable AC voltage.
