Y2 12V to 13.8V 8A Boost Module DC Power Converter Why you need this module Converts a 12V DC source to a stable 13.8V DC output, solving common undervoltage issues in automotive, marine, and portable 12V systems. Provides up to 8A output current to power or maintain equipment that requires 13.8V supply voltage. Module form factor makes it suitable for integration into existing systems where a higher regulated voltage is required without replacing the primary power source. Key benefits Reliable stepup conversion from 12V to 13.8V to ensure compatible devices receive required voltage. Supports loads up to 8A, enabling use with midpower radios, amplifiers, chargers, and other 13.8V equipment. Simple solution for applications where the vehicle or battery voltage is below the required operating voltage. Key attributes Model: Y2 Boost Module Functionality: DCtoDC boost (stepup) converter Input voltage: 12V DC Output voltage: 13.8V DC Maximum output current: 8A Form: Module (boardmounted converter suitable for system integration) Components: standard power electronics components mounted on the module (PCBbased) Performance notes Designed to raise a nominal 12V input to a regulated 13.8V output while delivering up to 8A to the load. Suitable when the source voltage is insufficient for devices that require 13.8V to operate correctly or to achieve proper charging/float voltage. Typical applications Amateur and mobile radio transceivers that require a stable 13.8V supply for reliable transmission. Automotive or marine electronics and audio equipment that perform better or require 13.8V rather than raw battery voltage. Systems that need a steady 13.8V float/charge voltage for accessories or auxiliary equipment when running from a 12V battery. Installation and integration tips Use appropriate wiring and connectors rated for the expected current (up to 8A). Mount the module securely and allow ventilation around the module to avoid heat buildup in enclosed spaces. Verify the input and output connections and confirm the module output with a meter before connecting sensitive equipment. This Y2 12V to 13.8V 8A Boost Module DC Power Converter provides a straightforward, boardlevel solution for raising 12V sources to 13.8V at currents up to 8A, enabling compatibility with devices and charging requirements that depend on a higher regulated voltage.
