I'm going to install a new ARB onboard air compressor. I'm looking at the CKMA24 or the CKMA12.... but I'm not sure what is the best way to go, any ideas?
ARB 12 Volt or 24 Volt?

If you're installing it on your big rig, go with the 24V, otherwise, stick with the 12V.

I installing it on my rig, I only have one battery, does it have to be wired differently then a 12 volt? Does the 24 volt have more output? Not sure if the install is the same or what my advantage would be...... sorry kinda of a newbie at this.

I'm guessing the rest of your rig is all wired for 12v. Since that's most likely the case you would have to have a stand alone 24v system just for the compressor or redo the electronics on your entire rig to match the 24v, seems like a huge disadvantage to going with the 24v setup.

Simple, if you have a single battery and thus a 12V system, 24V is not an option and shouldn't be considered. If you have a 24V system and don't want to run a 12V circuit, the 24V is the only option to consider.

Thanks for all the replies...... I'll take the advise and stay with the 12 volts.
