Yeah, that's the easiest compromise at this point.

What I'd like, is a box that I can connect a power supply to (whether
that's 48v, or 24v, I don't care) that gives my a 48v and a 24v output, and
has another connection for batteries and it deals with feeding the
batteries the correct voltages and current. Whether that's 12v, 24v or 48v
batteries, I don't really care... although I'd prefer 12v or 24v so can use
a smaller number of bigger batteries, if I want to.

Ideally, Forrest would build this, so I could just plug it into the
SiteMonitors that are already there, and be able to monitor and control it
as well.

Of course I can buy all the parts separately to do the same thing, but
having a pre-built box to do the job would be a lot cleaner.
