Re: 8 volt batteries?

A good suggestion for those wanting GPS or modern sound items. There are several of these converters out there. Just remember in doubling the voltage from 6 to 12v, there is a tradeoff so a limit on the output. Be careful what you try to run off them.

The unit Joe mentions is rated 6 amps and says it can handle a motor. Looks similar to the one offered by Newport Engineering for their wiper motors. Unless it specifically mentions they can handle them, most do not like high inrush current loads found in motors, solenoids, clutches etc. The low continuous amp out capacity also eliminates the majority of AC blowers.
