DC/DC Converters are sometimes called Reducers or Limiters, but
they are a distinctly different product. Reducers/Limiters work across
two 8 Volt batteries to produce approximately 12 VDC. A true DC/DC
converter works across the entire pack and draws energy equally from
all the batteries.
Converters have several distinct advantages.
There are two types of DC/DC Converter, Non-isolated and Isolated.
Non-isolated has one common lead with battery pack and in the design
of SPS this is the B+ lead. B+ common is the lowest cost approach
and has distinct advantages when used with radios.
An isolated Converter has galvanic isolation (a transformer) between
the main battery pack and the 12 V loads.
See the Isolated versus Non-Isolated page for more information.

Converters have several distinct advantages.
- Prolong th life of the batteries
- Reduce battery warranty costs
- increase the range of the vehicle
- provide a regulated output that remains constant as the battery
pack voltage drops - Maintains brightness of lights as the vehicle accelerates or
climbs hills
