Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have bought a caravan with a 12 volt electric brake but the cruiser is 24 volt. Will the controler handle it for some time cos I know you can feed 24 volt into a winch motor without it having blow up straight away. I have fitted 12/24 volt led tail light so that part is sorted I am hoping some one can help.

the electric brake controller will not handle it, it will fry you will need a voltage reducer of atleast in my opinion 15amps.

i assume you have two 12 volt batteries in series to make the cruiser 24 volt, so you could hook the electric brake system off one battery and just put in another brake light switch running off 12 volt too. should be pretty easy to set it all up.

cheers for that I think that will be the best way to go

would also destroy one if not both of his batteries too

oh yeah shit, sorry my bad. definately use an inverter, if you do what i said it will make one battery boil and the other not charge properly since theyre charging in series.
