[QUOTE="richg99, post: 401906, member: 4376"] I have NO personal experience with 24 volt systems. From my minor electrical knowledge, it seems that a 12-volt system, with a single battery...will run (time wise) X number of hours. If you add another battery in parallel (still 12 volts) your RUN TIME will double to 2 X hours. If you go to a 24-volt system, your POWER/SPEED will go up....but your run time will not necessarily go up, at least not as much as in the first illustration. There are efficiency gains in the 24 volt....that are not in my calculations. So, assuming my weak illustration is correct, it is a choice of needing more TIME to run, or needing more Power/Speed. I am hoping those with REAL knowledge of these two systems will pipe in soon. richg99 [/QUOTE]
