Can you run 12 volt equipment on 24 power?

No, directly connecting 12-volt equipment to a 24-volt power source will likely damage or destroy the equipment. The higher voltage will cause excessive current to flow, potentially overheating and burning out components.

To run 12-volt equipment on a 24-volt supply, you need a 24V to 12V step-down voltage regulator or converter. This device will reduce the voltage to a safe level for your 12-volt equipment.
