    Question for the experienced - 24V alt. In CUCV

    After price searching the Vanner equalizers... YIKES! They are not feasible new. But used on Ebay, very reasonable. I found some for $100-$200. Their product info is pretty vague, but it looks like you can get them where they just equalize, or they put out a lot of amps from the 12v battery...

    Question for the experienced - 24V alt. In CUCV
