[MRCA] 12-24V converters?

[W2HX]

I thought about that.  The shame of it is, the previous owner actually bothered to convert it from 24 to 12! The job is not insignificant to switch it back. All lights (external and dash lights), alternator, winch, starter motor, spark coil, etc.

Why not just convert the Lightweight back to 24 VDC?

Two better options! Get 12 volt radios like the Sunair GSB, Mackay or Harris stuff or get a vehicle with a 24 volt system, think any number of people would trade a M-1009 for your LandRover.

Thanks, Breck. Interesting item and decent price. But strange connectors. I’ll have to see if I can look up the product on the internet

thanks

SURE makes a nice converter. Lets see 500W would be 20.8 amps

What are folks using in their vehicles to convert 12 to 24V? I think I need about 500W.  These converters start getting $$$



Thanks
