28 and 24 actually means the same thing. Just like 6 and 7 volts or 12 and 14 volts.
The nominal voltages of most vehicles are 6, 12 or 24 (battery voltages).
The charging system voltages are generally higher IE 7.5, 14.0 and 28.0. So the systems are referred to by their charging voltage and the vehicle by it's battery voltage.
Mix and match is common for electrical component ID plates. _________________ Wes K
