Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ordered the 24v Warn winch motor, Bosch 24v alt gettin fitted up this weekend. Question i intend running the 12v winch control system so i will have to run an external 12v supply to the controller system and the main power cables to the 24v system. So the 12v relays will be switching the 24v supply to the motor. I belive this should work as there's heaps that have gone 24v what did you do?

Wally.

so your keeping the 12V system? just going to run a second 24V system?

or are you going to make the whole system 24V?

12V relays will work off the existing 12V circuit to switch the 24V winch circuit on. as 12V is the rating of the coil that switches the poles in the relay. the poles can take 24V.

i wanna run 2 separate circuits, 12 for the usual stuff and 24 for winching.

Runnin 3 batteries 2 set up in series with a 24v alt charging the that system and the original 12v alt and one battery running the rest of the electrical system.

Wally.

yeap. thats the way id do it too.

use the relay switched from the 12V to turn on the 24V

if you still have the existing wiring there. just use that but run a new power from the 24V batteries (obviously )
