Nothing special. pos to pos, neg to neg like 12v. your supply batteries will have to be connected neg to pos like it is on the truck.

By which he means in series - in case you missed the "pos to pos, neg to neg" bit earlier. ;)

as per the norm.

dont even need 24v to jump it, usually 1 single 12v bat will do it

if its in a machine connect the 24v to starter motor and earth on engine somewhere as feeding a 12v battery 24v might be nasty but in a truck the batterys are normally next to eachother
