Title: 24v Dc Or 12v
Post by: cueball13 on August 29, 2004, 06:57:00 PM

Most non-commercial vehicles will be 12v. Big trucks like yours are kind of on the border, but it's probably 12v too. If you've ever used a cellphone charger or anything like that from your cigarette lighter without incident, it's 12v. It should say in your car manual....look up cigarette lighter in the index, maybe.

100 to 1 it's 12 volts, which means 13-14 volts in reality.

It's simply not big enough to warrant more. If you have any doubts borrow a multimeter or bring it to a local garage or even parts store and let them drop a multimeter across the battery to verify that. Or just go look at the battery youd need to buy for it at Walmart.

Or just assume it's 12 volts since it is.

Its 12 Volts, some diesiel trucks are 24 volts because they run 2 batteries.

but all cars electronics run off 12 volts.

If it's built Ford tough it should be able to handle the extra voltage.
