At least on the electronic and electrical end of things, 24 volts is good
because
there is is less current for a given "wattage", and smaller wiring can be
used in
things like generators and starters. Wonder if that had a bearing on the 24
volt
change as well?
An example of what I mean would be the GRC-19 or GRC-106 radio sets that,
when transmitting draw about 40 amps or so. At 12 volts that would be 80 amps,
and at 6v 160 amps. BIIIIG difference in wiring requirements.
