People often think that the design of an SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) is an easy task. I assure you it is not. I got my degree in Electrical Engineering 50 years ago. I have done a couple of designs. Getting to high efficiencies is a little bit like designing a spaceship fro travel at light speed. The closer you get to perfection the harder it is to make even slight improvements. Every time I do a design I learn new subtleties that never previously came up. I consider myself minimally competent to do a design that works. It is far more likely that you can find a product that is appropriate to your needs with diligent research and skeptical eye to advertising claims.I realistically only really need 9v, that being said I have looked at those kind of batteries but the problem arises when I need to charge the battery. It has to be charged through a micro usb (part of the challenge) and the batteries I have come across use a special kind of charger, using a device like the dc to dc converter with the micro usb saves me time, money, and patience.
