I 200 tdi'd my 24 volt lightweight, fitted the 24volt generator to charge but ran the 12 volt electrics for the glow plugs n starter by just wiring to the + and - on the first battery... worked perfectly no relays etc needed... could do the same to run a 24 volt winch

cheers steve

thats what i suggested, but upgrading the alt to a 24V isn't on the cards.

Snot starts on 24v then goes over to 12v but all the other lectrickery stays at 12 v throughout.
Dunno how but there is a box of magic on wing. Standard on nissans I think.

When the ignition key goes to the start position it opens the 24 volt box to the starter
