just so you know, all trucks used to have a full 24 volt system and cars had a 6 volt system so the design is not a nightmare. still a lot of tractors about with a 6 volt system. now a good electrician can connect a 12 volt unit to a 24 volt system if he knows what he is doing it is just a matter of knowing where to do it on a battery. you can also buy a voltage converter and wire it in. and yes you can still buy 24 light bulbs Before you go deep inside this, check the voltage on the cigarette lighter. It should only be 12 volts. The 24 volts are used in starting the truck only. By thinking this through, designing a vehicle that worked on a 24-volt electrical system would be a disaster. No one would buy it. All the current electrical components for vehicles are for 12-volt systems. Lights, gauges, radios - everything! How much trouble would it be to replace something like, say, a map light if a 24-volt lamp had to be located? Alternativley Check the powercable as many of them can work on different voltage say from 10 to 30 volts and power the gps with the correct voltage.

How do you convert an electric fan to a 12volt battery?

To convert an electric fan to run on a 12-volt battery, you would need to check the fan's voltage rating to ensure it is compatible. You may need to rewire the fan to connect it to the 12-volt battery, which may involve replacing the power cord or using a voltage regulator. Be cautious when working with electricity and seek professional help if needed.


How much is 100ah is equal to?

Commonly this figure is used for battery used for cars or UPS. 100Ah means, you can draw 100 Ampere current for one hour. Like a battery 0f 12Volt,7Ah can be used for a circuit which draw current of 1 Amp. can be used for approximately 7 hours.


What uses watts?

Watts are a measurement of electricity. Volts times Amps =watts So if you are using 12volt supply and pulling 3 amps you are expending 36Watts So anything that uses electricity is expending watts. Fridges, stereos, TV's, DVDs, computers, electric drills, etc


What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12volt curcuit with a 36 watt bulb?

To calculate the minimum fuse rating needed for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit, divide the wattage by the voltage (36W / 12V = 3A). Therefore, a minimum 3A fuse would be sufficient for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit.
