Can a 24v charger charge a 12v battery?

[McKendra]

No, it will damage the battery. Here are some relevant introductions about 24v chargers and 12v batteries: 1. The result of charging a 12v battery with a 24v charger: During the charging process, there may be excessive heat generation, burnt wires, charger damage, battery damage, and other possibilities. 2. Battery charging precautions: Charge in time. The lifespan of a battery is generally calculated by the number of complete charge and discharge cycles, based on when the battery capacity drops to 75% of the nominal capacity. This data is important because users usually do not charge the battery when its capacity is only 75%, but rather when it is no longer usable, by which time the battery capacity has already dropped to 40% of the nominal capacity, indicating over-discharge. Timely water replenishment is also necessary. During the charging process, the battery will experience gas evolution, causing the distilled water in the electrolyte to gradually decrease and the sulfuric acid concentration in the electrolyte to increase, which accelerates the corrosion of the battery electrode plates and affects the battery's lifespan.
