This really interests me. I'd rather do this and a small cranking battery over getting another 75lb cranking battery when the one I have now dies. My two 60a lithium batteries have more than I'll ever need for a trip. I'm guessing the transformer also helps cut down on interference?Originally Posted by Bill Reynolds
I have been involved in 1 1/2 instances using DC Buck converters.
1) I helped a local Crappie Guide reduce his battery count and weight by replacing lead acid with Lithium. We eliminated a stand electronic battery by using a 24/12 buck transformer. It worked out ok: No interference.
1/2) I helped another friend rig up his aluminum river boat with a 36 volt TM removed from his glass boat. He needed 12 volts for his LiveScope and another battery was not an option so we are using a buck transformer. He just finished the install and has not had a chance to try it so we don’t know about interference.
I recommended the one shown because it could handle the 36 volt primary voltage.
