I am a novice. I want to build a two wire version of Buck Converter to go from 24V 4A to 17V 4A to charge a difficult to reach, 12V battery

Charging a battery -- what kind of battery -- you'll need thermal management, over-charge protection etc. depending on the type of battery, charge current etc. Analog Devices, Tex Instruments and OnSemi have chips especially for this purpose. Search for one which has an "Evaluation Module" -- it will save you a lot of heartache.

Thank you. I put my answers in parenthesis. You wrote: Charging a battery -- what kind of battery (12V 40amp LiFePO4, storage battery that provides power to a wireless radio)-- you'll need thermal management, over-charge protection etc. depending on the type of battery, charge current etc. Analog Devices, Tex Instruments and OnSemi have chips especially for this purpose. Search for one which has an "Evaluation Module" -- it will save you a lot of heartache. (I will look at Analog Devices, OnSemi and TI catalogues to find a solution. I appreciate the advice.)
