Why would you use a 24 volt inverter instead of a 12 volt inverter?

At a given power rating a 24 volt inverter will need half the current as a 12 volt inverter. This makes the entire system more efficient, and since high current transistors are expensive, the inverter will be cheaper. Many trucks and busses run their complete electrical systems on 24V.

Can my 12 volt charger charge my 24-volt or 36-volt battery system?

ProMariner :: Support :: FAQs
Our waterproof chargers are designed to charge 12-volt batteries within a 12/24/36 volt system. If you have a Dry Mounted battery charger (ProTech, Flyback, Promatic) then you would need a 24-volt charger for a 24-volt system or a 36-volt charger for a 36-volt system. A 12-volt non-waterproof charger cannot charge a 24-volt or 36-volt system.......the charger has separate positive terminals but only one common negative terminal (so the battery banks are not isolated from each other).

Why does your Silver Pulser unit only use one 9 Volt battery? I thought 27 Volts was needed?

SOTA Instruments Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Our Silver Pulser has a unique design. It incorporates a proprietary DC-DC switching power supply which takes the 9 Volts from the battery and steps it up to 27 (or 31) Volts. The 27 (or 31) Volt output is a constant voltage output, not just merely tripled. The output remains at 27 (or 31) Volts even as the battery drains down. This also allows the unit to be optionally powered by a Wall Transformer (Adapter), 12 Volt DC Automobile Battery, Solar Panel, etc.
