Reliable 24V to 13.8V stepdown power where you need it. Converts a 24V DC source to a regulated 13.8V DC output, supplying up to 8A continuous current for radios, accessories, small electronics, and battery float charging. Key benefits Provides a stable, regulated 13.8V output from 24V systems so 13.8V devices work reliably in 24V vehicles, industrial equipment, or solar installations. Eliminates the need for separate power supplies or costly rewiring when adapting 13.8V equipment to 24V platforms. Compact, straightforward solution that integrates into existing 24V power systems to power loads up to 8A. Primary attributes Functionality: Stepdown (buck) DCDC converter that accepts a 24V DC input and delivers a steady 13.8V DC output. Output capability: Up to 8A continuous output current at the rated voltage for powering or floating 12V/13.8V equipment. Compatibility: Works with common 24V sources such as vehicle alternators and battery banks, industrial 24V supplies, and many solar/battery systems. Construction and size: Built for practical installation in tight spaces; compact form factor and robust construction suitable for mobile and fixed installations. Performance: Regulated output designed to keep voltage stable under typical load conditions up to the 8A rating. Applications and use cases Mobile communications: Power CB, ham, or VHF/UHF transceivers and accessories in trucks, buses, and other 24V vehicles without modifying the equipment. Security and monitoring: Run 13.8V CCTV cameras, routers, or network devices from a 24V supply in service vehicles, trailers, or remote infrastructure. Battery float charging: Provide the 13.8V float/floatequivalent voltage required to maintain 12V leadacid batteries from a 24V source, simplifying battery management in mixedvoltage systems. What makes this converter useful Direct 24Vto13.8V conversion tailored for loads that expect a 13.8V supply. Delivers up to 8A so a wide range of small to medium loads can be powered reliably. Ideal for retrofits and mixedvoltage fleets where 13.8V equipment must operate on 24V platforms. Typical installation notes Connect the converter between the 24V source and the 13.8V load following proper polarity and wiring practices. Locate in a ventilated area and secure to a stable mounting surface appropriate for the installation environment.
