Generally winches are used for towing, and the 12V is no exception, whether you are towing a boat, another car or something else entirely, that would be its general use.

Are you able to set up a 24 volt system in your 12 volt land rover to run a 24volt winch?

Yes, you will need to install a second 12V battery in series with your existing 12V battery to supply 24V to the winch. However, to keep them charged, they have to be charged in parallel. You'll need a schematic to do this correctly and not damage the winch or batteries. I recommend you contact the winch manufacturer for a schematic. It might be best to purchase two new 12V batteries to operate the winch and not tie into your Land Rovers battery. I would purchase "deep cycle" marine batteries such as are used in boats and RVs. These will give you the best performance They are available anywhere batteries are sold.


How do you connect a 12 volt winch to 24 volt system?

Connect the 12V winch to one battery, assuming the 24V system has two batteries, connected in series.


Need a 12v 12ah battery to power a device that normally uses a 7 point 2v 1400mah li-on battery can it be done and would it be practical?

Yes. You will need a voltage regulator circuit to produce the 7.2v from the 12v source.


Would a 12v air compressor lift a car?

The 12V air compressor would not be able to lift a car. In fact the average 12V item would only be able to lift about 300 pounds which is not enough to lift a car.


What is a 12v battery used for?

12v batteries can be used in a variety of situations. Some of the most common uses are in power tools, cars, motor boats and outdoor power generators.


Can you plug in pest control into a 12V battery?

In order to use the "plug in" pest control with a 12V battery, the device would have to have power requirements less than or equal to that which a 12V battery can provide. The pest control would also need an adapter to use the 12V battery.


A truck semi uses 12v battery or 24v?

most semi truck in u.s.a. are 12 volt system. usually 4 12v batterys wire to get enough amps to crank engine. some older trucks were positive ground systems, most are now negative ground.


Uses For A 12V LED TV?

There are many uses for a 12V LED TV. Tailgating, camping, road trips, emergencies and more are but a few uses of this versatile electronic device. It can be powered off the cigarette lighter in any vehicle, or by using a 12- volt battery. An extended antenna can be used to help the TV pick up local or other stations. Some models have built- in DVD players so the user can watch movies. They use extremely little power.


Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?

If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.


Can you charge batteries in series with 2 separate chargers in parallel?

Not in parallel NO - unless each charger is twice the voltage required for a single battery. For example if you had 2 x 12V batteries and placed the in series, you would have a 24V battery. If you had two 12v chargers and put then in PARALLEL with each other, you would then have a 12v charger with double the current handling. Of course if the chargers were 24v ones, then it would work fine. if you have 2 x 12v batteries (for example) and wished to charge them with separate chargers (actually quite a good idea), then each charger would be over each battery. So the batteries would be in series, the chargers would also effectively be in series too. Basically another way of looking at it would be two have a 12v battery with a 12v charger to your left and then on the right another 12v battery with a 12v charger on it. Yes you can connect the two together in series. The only slight caveat is that the chargers must be isolated from each other - and not for example a "dual output charger" which simply has an extra pair of leads but a shared charging system. - 12v + - 12v + ---------+-BATTERY---+----------+--BATTERY--+-------- - | |+ - | | + |=CHARGER=| |=CHARGER=| - <------------------------------- 24 v ----------------------------> +


Can you fry an audio mixer that uses 15v by using a 12v power supply?

, No. I did it powering a 15V peavey audio mixer using a lead acid 12V battery. But depending of your audio mixer, you may have levels problems. Emmanuel


Can I connect 12 volts headlight to my 60 volts electric bike?

If the bike uses 5 12V DC batteries connected in series to achieve 60V DC you can connect the positive and negative wires from the 12V light ONLY to the first 12V battery in that series. The bike will remain 60V and the lights will be powered by the first 12V battery. If you connect the 12V light directly to 60V the light will blow instantly. Test the voltage with a volt meter before making any connections.
