My 91/92 catalog lists it as 8ES 001 790-001 8A fuses (one for each channel), size 97x79x71. Just got off the phone, current part# is: 5DS 008 125 001 Also check recent info about a new generation of single-channel converters, with this part#: 8ES 008 124 00 ("Charge Compensator Plus" > Do they make a 12 to 24?

Btw, there *are* 12->24 converters, but only single-channel, and not from Hella AFAIK. About US$100 for a 10A output version. (I have one to run a 24V fridge in our HDJ-80 (that one only starts at 24V, everything else is 12V)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] From: "Willem-Jan Markerink" To: dtlc@helios.net Date sent: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 15:15:28 +0100 Subject: Re: [DTLC] 24V / 12 V 20 amp ( nominal ) converter Send reply to: dtlc@helios.net On 8 Jun 99 at 1:57, Marcos Cifuentes wrote: > Hello > > I am building my own 24/12 DC converter, for my stereo. For those pondering about a converter that is mainly used while the engine runs: The Hella part numbers I posted recently contain one very interesting new unit, a charging-current-load-leveler/balancer. It connects to all 3 battery posts in a 24V set up (0V, +12V and +24V), and comes in two versions, 5A and 8A (8ES 008 123-001 and 8ES 008 124-001 respectively). The only thing it does is charging the batteries indepedantly, allowing 12V accessories to be hooked to the grounded battery, without the ill unbalanced-charging of the past (cooking one battery while the other one still doesn't get a 100% charge). This allows a continue 5 or 8A drain, or a 50% interval 10/16A drain, or a 25% 20/32 drain etc.... They also claim that even without 12V accessories, the batteries will stay in much better condition. Price is about US$150/200. Idle current is 15mA, in a waterproof housing, for underhood mounting. -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] http://www.landcruiser.gmxhome.de/12%20Volt%20Verbraucher%20im%2024%20Volt%20Bordnetz%20nutzen (position/brake lights by 12v-converter + relais/solenoid, indicators by 2x resistance (to keep the dash indicators working!)) http://www.herthundbuss.com/fileadmin/misc/Download/Katalog_PDF/EP_Katalog_PDF/Elektronik_2009.pdf xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Page 166? 139? of 239 12v->24v & 24v->12v multi-converters! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
