Barna and Jakobnev

Maybe you can give me some info on DC-DC voltage regulators. Some places that sell them where I'll find the needed information posted?

I looked at some DC-DC v. regs that I found, and they were rated for 12V output. So I don't know if that's a true 12V or is it really 13.x so it will charge your 12V battery?? Really I think I need a DC-DC regulator that outputs about 13.5V and quite a few amps, correct?

And I believe it will need at least 14V input? Maybe will need 16-18V input???

Thanks, friends
