I would have to agree. Why bother with a 24 to 12v converter in a CUCV. They are already out of balance, 10 more amps shouldn't make much difference.
Has anyone tried tapping the top battery with an isolated 12v load? All it does in most CUCV's is recharge the battery after the truck is started. Most of the load is no the front system.

Don -
unless, of
course, you are dealing with a system that has a separate 12V generator
(alternator) for each "half" of the 24V bank in which case the problem
should be moot. Flamers please note: I have seen the all arguments pro
and con about how to obtain 12V for equipment from a 24V system for a
lot of years on this forum. What I have said is MY opinion as a retired
"electronics guy", and I don't need to hear it all again.
