I am in the process of upgrading from 12 volts to 24 volts, and my first step I finished yesterday about installing a 24 volt inverter and rearranging the four golf cart batteries to 4 S. I measured the am draw on my 12 volt appliances, and I was expecting some 24 volt to 12 volt conversion losses, but these are the amperage draws on some items in my RV on the old 12 votl system versus the new 24 volt system:
There were only a couple of items that tested about the same between the 12 volt and 24 volt at a 1 to 2 ratio like I expected. Most were a bit less efficient at this higher voltage. Just wondering if anyone kept track of this.
