Howdy T,
The military issue Solargizers are all 24 volts. The important thing here
is that while they are listed as 24 volts they do all batteries, 6 volt, 12
volt & 24 volt. They are the very best that you can get. The kits come
with, (as usual), more stuff than you need to install them and they are
really neat. You can get them on Ebay but make sure that they are military
issue! You can tell by all the tie wraps, screws, Velcro tape and other
goodies in the picture. You can go to the web site www.pulsetech.com but
the price there is usually higher than what you find on Ebay. Also someone
on this list was selling them but I don't remember who. I do keep a spare
unit on my spare battery and it keeps it ready to go.
Regards,
Ed
