I tried taking 12 volts from one battery when two were connected to make 24 volts. Did this on other than our current lancair. Did not work. The battery that the 12 volts were being off from was alway dead. The alternator will not put extra charge into the battery that is lower than the other one. We are now using two 24 volt batteries in our ES and two 24 alternators. Use a converter for the 12 volt mac servoes. We like it. Would probobly be satisfied with two 12 volts also.(to make 12 volts) All electric system, no vac. pump. Just returned from OSH. Gene
