12v winch on 24v
I've seen 12v winches used on 24 v Unimogs a number of times. It's really quite simple and works great if you plan a separate 12v battery. Mount it close to the winch if you can, an advantage normal winch installations rarely have. The limitation is the AH rating of the battery versus drain...- tennmogger

12v winch on 24v
You guys are thinking constant Wattage. For achieving the same "Wattage", the current at 24v will be half that at 12v. (Watts = volts x amps). You can't make the motor draw less wattage at higher voltage!! That DC motor is a big honking resistance. As voltage doubles across a resistance...- tennmogger

At 24 v the 12v motor will draw much more current and turn faster, of course. Lots of older tractor owners run their 6...- tennmogger
