Greetings all

I have a 1981 MQ SD33 24 volt Nissan Patrol. I assume that if I want to put an electric winch on this truck I need a 24 volt winch. I have read lots of posts on the chinese vs WARN but they all seem to be geared (pun intended) to the 12 volt varieties. Does 24 volts change anything? How do you wire up the winch because my old girl has 2 12 volt batteries? Positive cable to one battery and the negative to the other? If that is the case can you put a 24 volt winch on a 12 volt system with dual batteries hooked up the same way as on the old MQ? Is there a smaller 24 volt winch available? All I see is 16000 lbers on ebay and the like


Thank you

Chris
