If you are refering to a 24 volt system that uses two 12 volt batteries in series, just wire to the positive and negative on one battery for 12 volts. Hope this helps. |

Not so 41Magnum. It is still a 24 volt system. They do make converters. From 24 volts down to 12 but I dont know if they are varible to adjust to 16-20. If yo knew how many amps you pulled you could just adda resistor inline to get the voltage you wanted

Hatchet; You can put 14 eight volt batteries in series for a 128 volt starting and control system in an electrical generating plant and tap off of any 6 cells in series and get 12 volts. That is where I got my power to run my radio while on duty. Either 12 volt battery in a 24 volt system is still a 12 volt battery, take a multi-meter across positive and negative on just one of the batteries in a 2 battery system sometime. Let me know what you get. |

Our trucks are not in series but parallel. If you will re-read his post he is trying to get 16-20 volts, not 12. In that case he will need a down converter or a regulator. |
