From what we believe is right and what I have read, we should use a 24v battery tender to help maintain the batteries on an M35A2 battery system, correct? The 3rd battery is for accessories and we are thinking of putting a 12v battery tender on that as well. I have pictures posted below, if you...

You would recommend two 12-volt battery tenders then as well, correct?

3rd wire goes to the LED light bar. Thank you for the help. Also the block against the firewall where all the wires are connected to, barely can see it in the picture behind the upper battery, Is that a block to isolate voltage to 12v from 24v or what? We are not 100% sure.

This is what the battery connections look like and I also took a picture of the dual 12-volt alternators. Is this how everyone else's truck batteries are set up?

That is our exact thing we are going to do, we have a battery maintainer on a John Deere Gator set up for EMS stuff on the Appalachian Trail & 1600+ acre state park. Just unplug it on the trailer and go.

can you elaborate more on why? There is a huge price difference between 24v and 12v and we are a non-profit working on a budget.

Well these are fire apparatus both for brush fires and winter emergencies so they are not used daily. Once a week if you are lucky at times. Depends on the type of call and how many we have a year. Thank-you for your input on the other CUCVs, I was not sure if they were all the same setup or not...

Hello all, I talked with a Battery Tender representative and they said a 24v battery tender would be used on a 2-battery system but I don't think they understood what I meant about the startup of the M1028 being 24v and the rest of the vehicle running on 12v. My dad is thinking two 12v battery...
