I have 2 different situations here:
2 cruisers: one is a 12V FJ 40 and the other is a true 24V PZ77
so i had some thoughts. . .
I want to run 2 X 12V batteries for a 24V winch and 24V on board welder in my 12V FJ. For charging, would i use a dual battery isolator i guess, and draw most normal current of the alternator tap of the isolator (if it was a 3 terminal version)?
for the 24V side of it, i guess i'd have some industrial forklift style plugs to attach the 24V accessories as they probably couldn't be hooked up at the same time as the rest of the 12V stuff.
situation #2:
Now with this scenario, would i be able to hook up a dual battery isolator on my 24V PZ to draw 12V from it too? I know the solar convertor jive and stuff like that, but my logic says that it should work in the same manner too. If the 12V taps on each battery were drawn with an isolator, then it should provide a clean, high amprege 12V source.
also in the PZ, additionally, for some bizare reason, there's a 12V convertor built in for a 12V radio. I found this out when it pulled the stock tape and radio and saw the 12V rating plates on the stereo. Voltmeter confirmed that it's really 12V but my question is with regards to the actual amprege rating of this convertor. Anyone have any ideas here? My truck also has the power accessory plug box under the hood, behind the airbox, but it's all 24V labeled, not 12V like most of the other ones reported in this forum.
