[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 513774, member: 6786"] Two 12V batteries in series makes charging difficult though DD. The batteries must be closely matched. This is worsened if tapping 12V off one battery, as the batteries then become effectively "unmatched". During charging, a heavily used one may require bulk charging, whilst the other may only require absorption or float. The batteries should then be charged individually, requiring switching connections and 24V downtime. I reckon that, if you need both 12V and 24V then, it would be better (more expensive but more reliable and easier to use), if you have two separate systems. [/QUOTE]
