Depends on the converters. Most of them I have used have a common ground for the 24 and the 12 volts. In which case it is fine to do so. I would measure the voltage between the frame and the 12v neg to see what it is. If it is 0, it should be fine. If there is any voltage, I would put a...

Oh and just a quote note. I know this has been beat to death, but some of you may be wondering if your batteries are balanced or not. The is two meathods to find out. One is kinds complicated and involves drawing current for a set amount of time. The second is my preferred methon because it...

Just for what is is worth. Figuring in for the inefficenties of Inverters if you are drawing 200 watts then you are pulling close to 20 amps off of that battery. With a 100 amp alternator or not, you are still overcharging on battery in the chain?

May Favorite way to go about it is to use a cheap 24v to 12v converter. There is usually an adjustment inside that will allow you to turn the voltage up to 13.8 volts and then use that to charge a separate 12v battery with a 1/2 ohm resistor in series with the positive terminal to prevent...
