What are the characteristics of the 24V battery?  Under load what voltage does 
it maintain?  Some batteries will maintain their voltage under load and some 
will not.  For instance common AA batteries- an alkaline battery will not 
supply very much amperage to a load because its voltage will drop considerably, 
but a AA NiMH will hold its voltage much better and put out a good amount of 
amperage.
