Powering 24-volt electronics on a boat with just your existing 12-volt system can be a game-changer. The Newmar 12-24-16 step-up DC-DC converter steps in seamlessly, delivering reliable 24V output from 10-15V input without the hassle of adding a separate 24V battery bank. Ideal for marine applications like navigation gear, thrusters, or winches that demand higher voltage, this non-isolated unit shares a common ground, making it perfect for negative ground setups common on most vessels.
Built tough for the harsh marine environment, it handles continuous 16-amp loads effortlessly, with protections against voltage spikes, overcurrent, and overheating. Whether you're upgrading your yacht's electronics or outfitting a workboat, this converter ensures stable power, keeping your systems running smoothly even under heavy use.

Front-panel terminal block simplifies wiring, and the rugged design withstands vibrations and moisture typical at sea.
Boat owners often face the challenge of mixing 12V and 24V gear. Use this converter to:
Pro tip: Pair it with a battery monitor to track input draw and ensure your alternator or solar setup keeps up during peak loads.
Mount in a dry, ventilated area away from engine heat. Use appropriately sized wire (e.g., 8-10 AWG for inputs/outputs) with fuses on both sides. Ground to the common negative bus. Test under load to verify output stability—expect rock-solid performance even as input dips to 10V.
"Switched to this from a battery charger setup—cut my wiring clutter in half and voltage is steadier than ever." – Experienced marine electrician.
Non-isolated means the input and output share a common negative ground, simplifying installation in standard 12V negative ground systems like most boats. No need for full isolation unless required for specific safety standards.
Yes, it's rated for 24-hour continuous duty at 16 amps, derating only at high temperatures above 30°C. Perfect for sustained loads like electronics or pumps.
Wide 10-15V input range keeps output stable even if batteries sag under load. Includes voltage spike suppression and thermal protection for reliability.
Absolutely—IP53 rating resists water splashes, dust, and impacts. Anodized aluminum adds corrosion resistance for long life at sea.
Non-isolated is lighter, more efficient, and cheaper for grounded systems. Opt for isolated only if galvanic isolation is needed between power sources.
93% efficiency means less waste heat and longer battery life versus linear regulators or less efficient switchers.
The unit has mounting flanges; secure with screws in a ventilated spot. No loose hardware included—use marine-grade fasteners.
These "UP" converters produce 24 volts from 12 volt systems and are ideal for managing dual voltage applications on marine vessels without having to install a 24 volt battery and dedicated charging system. Choose from two types depending on your application:
In the Standard, Non-Isolated Series the 12V input and 24V output share a common negative ground and are ideal when installing certain electronics that operate better on 24 volts when a robust 12 volt system exists. Models available in outputs of 7, 16 and 25 amps.
