I am trying to use a 5V to 12V upconverter with a 5 V USB power bank to run a 12V fishfinder that draws 650 mA (500 W, 4000W peak). The USB powerbank is 5 V and 2A. I checked all my connections for continuity and the adapter shows 12 V from the end of the plug. Shouldn’t this work? It turns on for a couple seconds and then immediately shut back down. The fishfinder works with a 12 V lead battery.
The upconverter was from amazon’s website.
