For years, EV converters used Todd marine chargers as DC:DC converters. When Todd Engineering hung it up, they turned to Iota power supplies. http://www.evdl.org/pages/iotamods.html As the page above suggests, neither made an especially reliable DC:DC converter. A road vehicle tends to be a hostile environment for electronics and DC:DCs need to be ruggedized and weather-protected. > These things are dirt cheap from China Better order a half-dozen or so. Put one under the hood, and you can expect service life commensurate with the price.
