Newmar 12-24-16 Step Up DC-DC Converter 16 Amp Conitnuos Product Description
Why Choose the Newmar 12-24-16 for Your Marine Power Needs
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.
Key Features and Protections
- Robust Output: 27.2V DC nominal at full load, with <100mV ripple for clean power that sensitive electronics love.
- High Efficiency: Up to 93% typical, minimizing heat and energy waste on your batteries.
- Wide Input Range: Accepts 10-15V DC, forgiving of battery voltage drops during high draws.
- Smart Protections: Automatic thermal shutdown with recovery, current limiting, and transient voltage suppression.
- Durable Build: Anodized aluminum and polycarbonate enclosure rated IP53 for dust, water splash, and impact resistance.
- Easy Monitoring: Green LED indicates output status at a glance.
- Flexible Duty: Rated for 100% continuous duty or intermittent peaks up to 16 amps.

Perfect Applications for Marine and Beyond
Boat owners often face the challenge of mixing 12V and 24V gear. Use this converter to:
- Power 24V chartplotters, radars, or autopilots without dual-battery complexity.
- Run bow thrusters or windlasses on extended trips.
- Support industrial tools or lighting in RVs, trucks, or off-grid setups.
- Upgrade legacy systems economically—leverage your robust 12V house bank directly.
Pro tip: Pair it with a battery monitor to track input draw and ensure your alternator or solar setup keeps up during peak loads.
Installation Best Practices
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Newmar 12-24-16 non-isolated?
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.
Can it handle full 16 amps continuously on a boat?
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.
How does it protect against low input voltage?
Wide 10-15V input range keeps output stable even if batteries sag under load. Includes voltage spike suppression and thermal protection for reliability.
Is it suitable for saltwater marine environments?
Absolutely—IP53 rating resists water splashes, dust, and impacts. Anodized aluminum adds corrosion resistance for long life at sea.
What's the difference from isolated converters?
Non-isolated is lighter, more efficient, and cheaper for grounded systems. Opt for isolated only if galvanic isolation is needed between power sources.
How efficient is it compared to alternatives?
93% efficiency means less waste heat and longer battery life versus linear regulators or less efficient switchers.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The unit has mounting flanges; secure with screws in a ventilated spot. No loose hardware included—use marine-grade fasteners.
NewMar 122416 Attributes
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.
Standard, Non-Isolated Series
- Intended for use on negative ground systems
- 10 -15 VDC input range
- Available in 7, 16 and 25 amp outputs
- Current limited, voltage spike suppression, automatic thermal shutdown and recovery
