Default 24 VDC appliances?

I knew what Larry intended: why didn't you?

The heating element is resistive. 120V 2KW element is approx 7 ohms. Reduce
voltage to 24 v and current draw drops to 3.5 amps. Power is not a constant.

Wouldn't actually make much of a difference. If the 2KW water heater
were running on 12V, it would draw 167A. On 24V it would still draw
83.3A, draining the batteries in a matter of minutes, not hours......
