    Thinking more about 12 volts from the 24 volt system...

    Here's a good USA built converter company. http://www.wilmoreelectronics.com/ Wilmore Electronics products are used in many commercial, railroad, and emergency services vehicles to provide 12 v (typically 13.6v) from 24 v system. You can order directly from them. I personally use their model...

    Thinking more about 12 volts from the 24 volt system...

    Hi Tony, Yes, the IGBT would soak up the unwanted voltage and dissipate it as heat, but that setup would give no regulation of 12 v at all. IMHO, placing the second battery across the one above it in the drawing, with the diode, would share the series charging current intended for the two...

    Not being an expert, I can offer 2c worth: Some of the older golf card speed controllers were nothing more than a series resistor to add resistance in series to slow the motor, and a big switch to turn it off. The newer ones use solid state devices to chop the voltage and send a lower...
