Wiring a 24V to 12V converter
Went crazy and decided to upgrade to a 24V system (and 2000W inverter). Ordered a Victron Orion 24/12-40 converter for the 12V stuff (except emergency brake switch). It's rated 40A continuous outpu...

Congrats on the 24v. What I really like about your setup (and mine) is the 12v side voltage never varies. Those Victron units are good quality stuff and hold the voltage right where you set it.

Agree. Should now be able to equalize my batts without any hesitation ;) as the Victron is good up to 35V input. But think it's output is non-adjustable, fixed 12VDC.
Is yours a 360W unit? 30A at 12V? That's the max size I can find for the isolated ones.
Another thing: have you considered the Victron Battery Balancer?
I'm going to monitor the V diff between my two 12V banks and see if the balancer might be useful. It's not that expensive.
