--- Quote from: "petergalileo" ---if you disconected your earth strap, connected it to the positive of the new battery then connected the negative of your new battery to earth you would get 24 volts.
DONT DO IT !
I reckon you would blow all of your electrics. I dont even think the cigar lighter could handle 24 volts !

I don't Intend too! Don't Worry? I used to have to sort out the Batts on ffr landies in the army and Truck batts later on? but you tend to forget! :lol:
Many Thanks Peter! :wink:

--- Quote from: "TUFFTEE" ---So! It's the other way to get 24volts then?
ie pos to neg i think? :lol:

No. That's how you get a fire. :lol:
For 24v use the pos and neg off two seperate batteries as feed and connect the other two together. Which is most likely what you meant, just not how it sounded!! :lol:
Think about stacking batteries in a torch, same difference.

Series to up the volts
Parallel to up the amps.
24v on a Disco won't do it a lot of good. The starter won't half turn fast until it goes bang!
