Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 3, 2021 Root Admin Posted April 3, 2021 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
nomolites Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 80# and below are 24v and only require 2 batteries...is this motor a 112#? Mike
aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 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

Dutch Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Could he get creative with agms? They can be mounted most any way.
fishinwrench Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 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.
