A 24 volt system only uses half the current to do the same job as a 12


volt

system, a 36 volt system uses 1/3 the current.



So a 24 volt system only needs 12 volts to do the same job as a 12 volt
sytem? Hmmm....


Todd,

Current and Voltage are not the same thing. Think of voltage as the
rate of flow in terms of speed. Current is the power behind the flow.

Say a Mack truck is moving at 5 mph and it hits your car...disaster

If a bicycle hits your car at 5 mph..then there is a scratch. Thats the
diff between current and voltage!
