12 Volt Reducer produces 15 Volts?
Hey guy's I hope everybody is having a good Christmas.
This new post kinda follows my previous but this is different. I'm using a voltage reducer that runs off my 2, 8 volt bats that's suppose to produce 12 Volts. It is wired correctly!! and I thought it was producing 13.5 but it is actually producing 15 volt's. I think maybe this has been my problen from the begining now that I'm on my third radio in 3 yrs. Isn't 15 volts a little hot for a 12 volt radio? Any thoughts? The radio and wires are not getting any extra juice from my other motor windings going out prob. Thanks, Steve |

15 volts is no big deal. A car alternator produces 14-14.5 volts when charging

Re: 12 Volt Reducer produces 15 Volts?
Does anyone find it odd that the op states the converter is running on 2 of the 8 volt batteries and producing 15 volts? Doesn't seem like much converting going on there.
By load they mean hook up a light or radio or something to the converter and then measure voltage with that device operating. |

@ OP, check your batteries in your meter, they may be getting old. |
