Guys
This may be simple, but not to me.
I have 1 12v batteries on my boat running everything.
I want to create 2 24v circuits from those batteries but leave the other wires as at 12v .
Ideas ?
Thanks

If you have only 1 12v battery as stated, noway to get 24v.Quote:

You can get 12V from battery #1 or #2
How much current you need for 24v? You can get 24v from 12v. If you need a lot of current, do as shown in Bill's drawing.
What are you going to run that is 24V, and how much total current are we talking? Couple options and it all depends on requirements... what are they?Quote:

It has been reported that running it on 24v improves the images.
Thought I'd try it.

Brett let us know what you think, after you test it a while.
Please and thanks.

Dont know how to rig it electrically yet.
I need to get 1 or 2 24v circuits from batteries that service 12v trolling motor, start main engine and run a 12v humminbird, plus pumps.
Don't want to burn anything upSent from my SM-G965U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

You could also connect both batteries in series, and run 12v accessories off of one battery or the other, that further complicates things, but would work just as well. However, in this configuration, the livescope is going to draw from both batteries, so you would need to be wary about killing the starting battery.
Since your trolling motor is hooked up to one of the 12 volt batteries you may get tons of interference from the trolling motor.
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 :Rofl
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 :yikes
Thanks
I just need 1 24v circuit, maybe 2 circuits, but 1 24 v battery would work for both.

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.

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.Quote:

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.Sent from my SM-G965U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

might be easiest to add a third battery for 12 volt systems
Brett, did you ever test it out?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
I did. Rigged a 24v system.
Couldn't see a noticable difference.
I'm back to 12vSent from my SM-G965U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:
