I have been doing a bunch of reading, even phoned the tech support guys at Champion, not much help, being in California they have never heard of 24V systems and do not make a 24V winch so swapping out parts (motor/solenoids) is pretty much impossible. He did suggest using only one battery and an isolator or something, but was pretty unclear, and unsure if the vehicle/alternator could be running or not.

From what i have read using one battery on a 2 battery 24V systems is mostly a bad idea? Also the which can use up to 500A so isolators that size are huge.

I have also read that some of the Warn 12V winches run fine at 24V and is actually preferred in the winch challenges. However some guys say the solenoids need to be rewired in series or parallel other post are stating they have done nothing and thier winches work fine at 24V.

Please any advise on how to do this? or should i just hook it up and hope for the best? will not be using the winch very often.

I would like to know if anyone has rewired their solenoids, and will be posting pics/wiring schematics. Also any posts or replies regarding how the warn people do their 12V on 24V system would be appreciated.

PS i also need to mount it, any advice on how what why where would be appreciated something bolt on maybe, receiver hitch style would be the best, but as i do not have a welder should probably keep it simple, i do have friends with welders.

PPS sorry about the scatter brained post one to many wobbly pops last night to seal the winch deal.
