    Default If I have a 24volts system setup for the TM but want to use a 12v


    TM on the system, what do I need to do to cut it back to 12v ? Im guessing something back at the batteries but not sure what it might be


    thanks

    Just connect to positive and negative of either battery that you want to and you will have 12 volts.

    Or if you are going to use a 12 volt TM and want to take advantage of both battery's then wire your batteries in paralell .....that will give you 12 volts.....when they are wired in series its 24 volts.

    It depends on the wire harness but in general you would connect pos 1 and neg 1 directly to the motor. Then you run a jumper from pos 2 to pos 1 and a jumper from neg 2 to neg 1. If you have a 12/24 plug you can open up the plug and change the wire connections in the plug to get the same results.

    Thanks G, but I have to disconnect from one battery and then connect to the other battery correct ? just have to figure what wires come off the plug I am guessing and then I should be able to use the same plug from the 24v motor and just wire it on the 12v correct ?

    lcookie, the setup is for a 24volt and dont think it was a 12 or 24, just strictly 24

    Then the batteries are wired in series.....You just need to un hook and wire in paralell for 12 volts. Give CanePole a shout he has some charts to show what series and paralell is.

    Wire your two batteries with together with jumpers positive to positive and negative to negative...then connect your TM wires to one of the batteries....thats Paralell. This will give you 12 volts.
