Upgrading an EFP sled from 12V to 24V output

What the thread found

Converting a sled from 12V to 24V requires rewiring the electrical connections, not just replacing the breaker.
A 24V system uses two 12V batteries connected in series.
Professional sleds use a double pole double throw switch to allow toggling between 12V and 24V operation.

Depends on

The discussion does not specify what components besides the breaker and wiring need to be changed.
No details provided about the specific wiring configuration or switch installation procedure.
The advice was not tested or verified by the original poster in the thread.
