Lines: 14 +In an article the original poster writes about recharging 24V systems: +The system is, indeed, 24 VDC. Two twelve volt deep cycle leadacid +batteries in series. There is a 'funny plug' that connects them to +the control harness in series. It also connects them to the home +charger in parallel, but not at the same time ... + 24V chargers are available for aircraft.
