A friend of a friend is a ham in Africa. His vehicle
has a 24vdc system. The battery has no taps to divide
it into 12vdc series.
He needs about 20A to run his FT-100. Can he put 2
12v car batteries in series and tap from the center
connection to get the 12vdc he needs?

It seems too easy. So before I show him how to
blow up his radio, I thought I'd check with you
guys as a sanity check.
