24 - 12 volt ???

[DERF]

I have a 24 volt system on both the boat and my '89 Landcruiser... Now I presume the output from the cigarette lighter on the boat is 12v, as it appears to have an inverter on board.... but the one in the Landcruiser is 24V..

Question then

1) Can I run a 12 v appliance plugged into the 24v LC lighter?
2) If the appliace says 12v - 18v will it go pop if I plug it in
3) Is there a plug in inverter I can buy that has a Cigar lighter female end?

Or am I worrying about nothing.

BTW the appliance is a H/H GPS that says input voltage 9.8v - 18v?

Put a tester on it and see what volts you actually have!.


I purchased a sexy wee thing that plugged into my 12v cig plug and produces 15.4v or whatever the laptop wants.

1) No
2) Yes
3) Yes, but they're sold as voltage converters, not inverters
