are there inverters (for 110vac) that will take 48vdc input?

I am (desperately) trying to justify spending much more than I can afford on a LiFePo4 battery and it occurred to me that maybe it could also be used to power a 110vac inverter for extended use during emergencies? Post-hurricane, floods, that sort of thing.

Because of the BMS it could not be switched to 12vdc parallel so I don't even know if this is remotely possible.

you could order a DC-DC module (15$...) that convert from 36 to 75V input to 12V output.. I know that Flip_normal have some. they give 75W output at 12V so it's 6A..

I know that some inverter accept 24V input.. but you could search for some that could take 48V..

Ooh I forgot about the solar market. Thanks for the idea nutsandvolts!
