24 volts NO but 14.4 yes. Remember that a fully charged competition battery fresh off the charger can be well over 13 volts. The MOSFETs are rated at 30 volts Vdss but the onboard voltage regulator might not be able to handle the additional input voltage. IFI does make a 24 volt version of this device, hence the 885 part number.
