REFLECTOR: [c-a] Re: COZY: 24 Volts VS 12 Volts

[Scott Derrick]

Oh yeah, I've done it, it was just such a cluster**** waiting to happen!

We did it for a older MIG a few years ago, that needed 48 volts,  two 
cars and a 24 volt charger in series! We had to let the cars run for 
hours to charge up the battery!
