Step up a 12 VDC battery to between 13.5 and 17.0 or 24.0 and 27.5 VDC in 0.5 VDC increments (via 3 position DIP switch), or stabilize a 12 or 24 VDC power system.


Safety features include reverse input protection, low input voltage alarm, low output voltage alarm, over temperature shutdown and alarm, a dry contact alarm relay output and output overvoltage crowbar. If the input voltage exceeds the regulated output voltage, the unit simply passes the voltage through with full LC filtering and a single schottky diode drop (0.5 VDC or less). Optional features include remote panel monitoring with On/Off control.


Applications include temporarily brightening 12 volt headlights or work lights, increasing voltage into an automotive or marine ignition system for hotter spark and/or prevention of failures due to voltage drop during engine start, stabilizing 12V and 24 VDC power systems in marine, automotive or aeronautical environments and more.

* The actual output current capability depends upon the input/output voltage ratio.
   To obtain the actual output current capability at any given input voltage,
   use the following formula:
Output Amps = Input Volts/Output Volts x 27
For example, at 11 VDC in and 13.6 VDC out, the output current = 11/13.6 x 27 = 22.8 amps
