No, 54-55 is a good float voltage for lead acid 48 VDC batteries. The voltage itself has nothing to do with the data.
Too much current could affect it, but in my testing, the chip with the magnetics will unsolder itself before it stops passing data.

When running at 55 volts limiting current for the LEDs they do get hot. Their temp depends on system voltage. I had hard to make the LEDs usable for a range of 6-60 volts without some tradeoff. As long as the large chip isn’t getting hot you are OK. From: Josh Baird Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2015 8:16 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GIGE-POE-APC Hot? Yeah, it seems to be just the area around the LED. The connector is not very hot at all. On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 9:54 AM, Nate Burke <n...@blastcomm.com> wrote: Or is it the area right by the LED's?

We just installed our first GIGE-POE-APC which is powering an AF24, and noticed that it gets VERY hot. So hot that it almost instantly burns your finger when you touch the green molding. For folks that have these installed, is this normal? It's ran fine for a few days, but this morning we we noticed that the ethernet link on the AF24 was dropping (and coming back very quickly). I'm not sure if it's related or not. Josh
