Root Admin Phil Lilley 5,819 Posted April 3 Root Admin Report Share Posted April 3 I have a terrova tm I want to give my son in law but he doesn't have room for the third battery. So the question is - can he run it on 24v and if he does, what can he expect? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nomolites 774 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 80# and below are 24v and only require 2 batteries...is this motor a 112#? Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aarchdale@coresleep.com 1,784 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 if its a 36v and you run it on 24v it will be very hard on the motor and i wouldn't expect it to last. Low voltage will kill it fishinwrench 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch 1,877 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Could he get creative with agms? They can be mounted most any way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishinwrench 12,873 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 The old 12/24 motors still had only 2 wires down to the armature. They switched the voltage over just ahead of the rheostat. So I guess possibly you could convert a 36 to a 24 by getting a 24v rheostat (speed switch). Not sure though. I've never tried it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
