Hi Guys,
New to this forum and I must confess the dark world of electronics! I am confident in my mechanic ability but this is a bit of a new venture for me. I am in the process of restoring my VW T25 / Vanagon and will be soon adding a leisure battery, solar panel etc. I would like to run a low powered TV, Raspberry Pi HTPC and hopefully a Nintendo Switch dock off the 12v system without inverters etc.
I wondered if anyone could just give me reassurance that my avenue of research for this is correct.
The console’s AC adapter is run off a USB C: 15V @ 2.6A, or 39 Watts. If I used a DC - DC step up converter to step the campers 11 - 14.5v to 15v with the correct rated Ampage, would this work?
Can anyone suggest how best to output to a USB C? Splice a cable or any neater solutions?
Thanks
