Hi Mike,

I agree with Bob that your buddy will have problems charging the 12V 
batteries. You'll have trouble equalizing the charge between the two.

I might suggest looking into suppliers of motorhome and big truck electrical 
accessories. I'd think they'd run into this 12V/24V conversion problem all 
the time. Surplus dealer Marlin P. Jones has small 24V-to-12V switching 
converters for $40 but only 8 amps. A switching converter would be very 
efficient compared to other schemes.

73,
Bob, WA9FBO
