Hi Russ, no, the batteries are wired to keep the 12v system, plus to
plus, minus to minus; the rest of the bike can't run on 24v. I'm not a
battery expert, others on the List are, but I think it's something about
the total amperage capacity being increased, the CCAs, or something.
The battery system just has more 'balls' to crank the high-compression
engine better. I remember when we had a Cadillac with the 500 cubic inch
V8 some years ago, my garage pal said, "Bill, if that was my car, I'd
put the biggest battery I could get in there, to crank that baby!" And
he was right, the biggest CCA battery available cranked it and ran it
better than a smaller CCA alternative. Bill
