alana Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Are there any off-the-shelf modules to allow 12v device to be powered from 6v motorbike battery? Needs to provide 5 to 10 Watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulis Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yes... DC-DC converters will do what you want. The power range your looking at is NO PROBLEM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alana Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 OK, I also assumed there would be loads of suppliers of DC-DC converters offering what I want, but using Google, I couldn't find any that do 6v to 12v. How about some specific examples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulis Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Just about all DC-DC's have a input range... for example our 5V input models have a range of 4.5V to 9V. 12V models work from 9V to 18V, 24V models work from 18v to 36V and 48V models work from 36V to 75V. That's the nice thing about them.http://store.cd4power.com/cgi-bin/cd4power.storefront/45c9c2d5009d863e271d0c9f894206e3/Catalog/1172?nominalvolts=5¤t=1.000+1.999&Output_Voltage=12&SEARCH=View...

alana Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Now that's more like it! An actual product number and a UK sales office too. I'll ring them for prices. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
