Thread: How to get 1 24v circuit from 12 v boat

Simple buy two small 24 volt lithium's and keep a one conventional 12 volt battery for cranking. Less space taken up but at much higher cost. What you trying to power that would require two 24v feeds and a lone 12v feed I guess would help most here from having a nervous breakdown

Just read your earlier response about running scope and gls10 on 24volts for better resolution or return. I think your misinformed, I do run two designated Dual Cranking 24's in parallel to maintain optimum voltage even after a long day. 12.3 volts and above are more then adequate, Ive noticed many great screenshots from others at less voltage. I think you wire your gls10 and or unit up to 24 volt you will see a burn out not a quality of return or images. Matter fact I think the subject is BS I was just referred here by a friend

Thanks
I just need 1 24v circuit, maybe 2 circuits, but 1 24 v battery would work for both.
Thanks

It may be complete BS but there are a few guys swearing it dramatically improves livescope performance.
I'm looking for a free way to test it.
I can't see why anyone would lie about it. Nor do i understand why it would help assuming gls10 has a voltage regulator.

Thanks

Are you using livescope?

I am, I could easily swap my setup over to a 24 volt system wiring my batteries in a series. After looking into it Garmin says you can use up to 32 volts. Until I see it for my own eyes on someone's else's unit then I won't believe it. I just don't see that it would make a difference, I could be wrong though. Can't find anything on the net about folks using the 24v setup. Contact Garmin and see what thier input is on it. I would be curious as to thier response myself.

If Garman will run up to 36 volts The only way I could see this happening is if the units on 12 volt are not getting enough voltage to start with as I would imagine if Garmin does this it has a built in voltage regulator and if it does it will cause more heat in the unit itself. Heat is a byproduct of reducing voltage so it is wasting more power from the batteries.

I have 2 24v batteries from my cordless drill.
I'm going to rig the 4 AH one up and see for myself.
Then a 12v battery all with the same length of wire.
About 6 ft.
Just on the gls10.
