I've been using 24v on mine for about 4 years with no problems (yet).  I 
always set the strap for double-reduction, though (double-looping). 

I use six East Penn 12 volt, group 24 gel batteries wired series-parallel. 
 I 
charge them with three external 12v automatic chargers.  They work fine.  
Range is less than it would be with golf car batteries, but it's ample for 
my 
needs.

That said, regular golf car batteries are the most economical and rugged 
power 
source for ETs.  I used the gel batteries mostly because I had a bunch of 
them.

The question can arise whether with the development of such tech-
nological means of communication as radio, film, and the daily
press, freedom of thought is possible at all.  Does this not mean
constant infection with whatever ideas are in circulation?
