need help converting 12 Vlt to 24 Vlt for faster Actuator! help!


Recommended Posts

i know this might not be the correct area to be posting this but it seemed like the closest one to the subject haha. anyways. i just got 2 actuators that run on 24 Vlt DC power. but i do not have such power source. i do have 2 batteries in the truck but they put out 12 Vlt together for the sound system. the actuators do function on just 12 Volts but the are SUPER SLOW!! so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what i could do to get 24 volts without touching the batts. Are there any kinds of converters?? please let me know! thanks!

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

yeah i was thinking the same thing. but then that would cause me more voltage drop...cuz right now im passed border line with my alt. cuz i have an SAZ-3500 and a small 300 watt amp for mids. and 2 batts. on a DC Power OEM series 190 amp. wouldnt that affect my voltage and force the alt more to charge 2 more batts??

i dunno how it would affect drop, but i also dont know if that would back feed into the system somehow.
