[Alberg30] Battery question

[David Wilsmore]

get a 24V to 12V regulator - its a good idea anyway as the 12V coming out 
of these devices is constant at 12V despite the battery's varying voltages 
though different stages of charge - which is a lot better for your systems.
I intend to be running my whole boat in this configuration, split 24V/12V 
regulated.
Not sure which regulator to use just yet, but a quick search shows many 
many options (trucks use 24 V systems also)
