I have a BJ44, my first 24V vehicle.. It died 8 months ago. Took a while, but starter tested as fine, and just replaced the batteries and voltage regulator.. 99.9% sure not a wiring problem, as no drain on the battery, no nasty smoke from wires.. So, as I'm hooking up the second new battery, the spark is huge(compared to a single 12 volt), and the spark is actually hot enough to melt the post.. Is there some special way to connect batteries for 24V systems..? Is this normal..?

Well I would hook the positive cable from starter to the battery. Then connect the 2 batteries together ( negative to positive) with the next cable. Then hook the ground cable from the frame to the negative post of the 1st battery in the series.

I get a pretty generous spark if I hook my batteries together in the middle after unhooking them to charge with a 12v battery tender.
Incidentally, you may ask question in the 24v section of the forum and may find you get more input than the vendor section:

Diesel Tech / 24 volts

BJ/HJ diesels (3B, 13BT, 1KZ, 1HZ, 1PZ, etc) and other diesel conversions (ie: Isuzu, Hino, 4BT, 6BT, etc)

Any idea where to locate a copy of the FJ40 Restoration Journals? Looks like they are out of print on Amazon.
