Running 12v appliances off 24v

robroy:
Mate…I apologise if I’ve offended you,. especially as I know the far end of f.all about electronics myself,.I just thought that it was an obvious answer to what I perceived as a daft question, but there you go.
If I came on here asking if there was any way I could put diesel into a petrol car, I’m sure you would think the same,.even if you were not a mechanic…so not a case of being a big head really is it? :neutral_face:

Oh really… apologising to the offended? I thought more of you Rob…

Not offended at all mate, just being pedantic at it not actually being a daft question if it’s not something you have encountered before.
To be fair I could have worded my original post better.

Speaking of being pedantic… if you knew that certain petrol cars in certain situations could run on diesel, plus there was a way to convert diesel to petrol, and you had a petrol car but no petrol but you did have a big can of diesel… surely only the grumpiest of old mechanics could take offence at the question being asked.

No harm done mate case closed.
I’m off to the Brexit thread to mistreat a donkey.

This has probably been asked a hundred times before but can I run a 12v cig lighter fridge off a 24v cig socket without damaging anything?
Thanks

Please tell me this is not a serious question!
If it is, you surely aren’t bright enough to be let out on the road with anything other than a bicycle with stabilisers.

You have to be the most negative poster on Trucknet. Not one of your posts is helpful or positive or adds anything to a thread. You must’ve had a hard miserable life to be the only bloke on a hot summer’s day, walking around with a black cloud over him constantly. :unamused:

You’re confusing me with someone who cares!

The grandkids must love ‘having’ to visit you on a Sunday ! :unamused:

I wish we didn’t have all this negative stuff on this forum.It must put a lot of people off posting questions at all

We need the mods to create a “kumbaya” sub-forum.

What universities call a “safe space”.

What the mods need to create is a seperate section entitled ‘Ask your questions here’ so that the more helpful blokes can drop in and offer their sage advice, while the more beligerent know it alls like Grumpy-old-*****r can just stay on the main forum and avoid getting wound up.

The thing is, the know it alls wouldn’t be able to resist having a nosy in the questions section and they would still get wound up with stupid questions. :laughing:
