 As 1979 Bundeswehr-specification vehicles, the Iltises would originally have been equipped with 24-volt electrical systems. However, some of the additional rally equipment, including radios, auxiliary gauges, and rally lights, may have required 12-volt power. How this difference was accommodated remains uncertain. One possibility is that a voltage converter or separate 12-volt supply circuit was installed to power the additional equipment. Alternatively, the original 24-volt electrical system may have been replaced or extensively adapted to use the 12-volt system found in civilian Iltis models. As 1979 Bundeswehr-specification vehicles, the Iltises would originally have been equipped with 24-volt electrical systems.
