6V to 12V converter
Hello all,
I just bought this so I could hook up some strobing LED lights someday to the rear of my AA to be seen. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Says 5v-11V input and steps it up to 12V. Mine under light load was 12.24V with 7.2V input, with 6V input it dropped to 12.21V output. Mounting ear holes are 2 5/8" apart so relatively small with nice 16GA wires coming out of it. Theres a 4A max output and a larger 10A max output with aluminum heatsink - price sure beats what the catalogs want for these... Thought I would spread the word

Re: 6V to 12V converter
Those low cost ones won't work with a cb radio. The grounding of the antenna messes things up. Should power lights OK.

I used one from eBay to run the 12v LEDs that I used for turn signals. It has worked great for over a year. I found the LEDs on eBay also .

I wonder if you ground the antenna to the 12V side ground wire and isolate the bracket from the cars 6v ground system the CB would work.
