Hi All,
Found an interesting issue on my GQ Y60 with 24V.
Someone had wired a trailer power system from half way up the battery.
All nicely fused etc.
24V relays for each function installed by the bottle jack.
All nicely done.
BUT...
It unbalances the battery charge. The 'lower' battery is flattened a little.
The overall battery voltage is pulled down a little.
The alternator increases the charge.
The 'top' battery colapses.
Not a good idea.
We have moved the 12V tap to 24V and changed to 24V lamps.
Easy fix.
Expensive battery repair.
Dave.
