5 Amp DC-DC Voltage Converter
(click image for large view)
Our DC to DC converters now have an extended input range. Designed for use on 24-80 volt equipment to provide a regulated 13.8 VDC output. Heavy-Duty High Voltage DC to DC Converter with built-In Spike Filter. For operating standard 12 VDC equipment (lights, radios, cellular and tablet chargers, computers) from non-standard electrical systems. With the 24v-12v voltage reducer, you can run 12 volt auxiliary lights or any other 12 volt unit from your 24 volt truck.
Is your vehicle ex-military with a 24 volt system? Double battery 24 volt systems are superior in many ways to 12 volt models. Don't even think about converting the entire system to 12 volts. Also, it is not recommended to draw power from one battery only. Just use a converter to step down the voltage to power the 12 volt appliance.

Customer Service
"Here is our Military Hummer converted into a quick attack/brush fire vehicle. We used two
of the 25 amp converters to run all of our strobe package and other vehicle lights that we
upgraded as well as one solely dedicated to our radio and siren box."
Respectfully,

Question: I have a fording requirement and I need to make sure my 24
to 12 regulator is water proof.
Answer: "You can place this unit in a bucket of water, and it will still work. Converters may be mounted on the outside of a piece of equiment, but they need to use weather sealed connectors on the wires and they need to protect the fuse holder"

24 Volt Radiator Fan
The 24 volt High-Performance 16" Radiator Fan is designed for military or ex-military vehicles
with 24 volt electrical systems.
6 & 12 Circuit Fuse Blocks
Works excellently with our 24 & 12 volt electrical items. Allows you to run 6 or 12
individually fused 12 volt circuits.
24 volt System Info
24 volt electrical systems are found mostly in military vehicles such as Land Rovers, Pinzgauers,
HummVees, and Unimogs. The system is made up of two standard 12 volt batteries. This differs from
a dual battery system in a 12 volt truck, however. Instead of being connected in parallel, the
two batteries are hooked up in series.
Parallel: Positives connected, and both negatives go to ground.
Series: Ground connected to negative terminal, positive connected to second negative, and
second positive connected to all units.
Never run 12 volt accessories from one battery, especially a 12 volt unit that draws alot of
power (winch, etc.). The danger is that power will be drawn from only one battery and the system
will become unbalanced.
Some Do's & Dont's with 24 volt systems:
Do not draw power from only one battery for ANYTHING.
Swap around the batteries several times in the season.
Always charge both batteries fully.
Both batteries must be of the same type.
High efficiency vs. low efficiency converters:
Both high and low efficiency converters are available. Low efficiency converters are cheaper,
larger and dissipate extra voltage by heat conversion. Units have large heat fins, and become
quite hot. High efficiency converters are superior, run cooler, but are more expensive.
