Truck Battery versus Car Battery

There is no difference in a truck battery or a car battery unless you are talking about a semi. As long as the battery fits, it the same voltage, and has sufficient CCA (cold cranking amps) it will work in a truck or car.

Can a 24V battery charger be use to a 12V car battery?

no. It can overheat the battery, damaging it.Here is a separate answer: I just charged a 12v car battery using a 110v DC Welder set on 10 amps, and putting out 50v. I had to check the battery every 30 minutes for overheating, which it did not. I know this is not recommended as I risk damaging the car's electrical system and the battery, but I was in a pinch.I only charged it for 1.5 hours, and there is a substantial risk that the battery will explode. I disconnected the terminals at the welder to avoid igniting the hydrogen that forms around the battery during the process.Other risks include overcharging the battery because chargers designed for 12v drop to a trickle when the battery is fully charged, avoiding damage to the battery.

Short answer: Yes - MaybeLong answer: Yes, if that batter will fit in the car's battery tray, and has the posts or side terminals in the correct place. additionally you will want to ensure that it is a 12volt battery and not a 18 or 24 volt battery (depending on what you mean by truck).
