RADIO SHACK has exactly what you need. Their automotive inverter will convert
12V to 24V (you have to read the literature sheet with the product to find
this out.) at 3A. It retails for $27.95
These inverters are in short supply, since they are made in mainland china
(I think) and there is (were) problems after the June uprising.

Let us know how you solved your problem.
