Newmar 12-24-7 Step Up DC-DC Converter 7AMP Conitnuos Product Description
Unlock Reliable Power for Your Dual-Voltage Needs
Powering equipment that demands 24 volts from a standard 12-volt system can be a challenge in marine, RV, or off-road setups. This robust step-up converter bridges that gap seamlessly, transforming your existing 12V battery bank into a steady 24V source without the hassle of adding a separate battery or charger. Ideal for electronics like radars, thrusters, or winches that perform best at higher voltages, it delivers consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
With built-in safeguards against overloads, spikes, and overheating, it keeps your systems running smoothly while protecting sensitive gear. Compact and durable, it's built to withstand harsh environments, from salty sea air to dusty trails.
Standout Features That Deliver Real-World Reliability
- Wide Input Tolerance: Handles fluctuating 10-15V inputs from alternators or batteries, ensuring stable output no matter the load.
- Precision Output: Maintains 27.2V with minimal ripple (<100mV), perfect for voltage-sensitive devices.
- Overload and Thermal Protection: Automatically limits current, suppresses voltage spikes, and shuts down if temps rise—resuming once safe.
- High Efficiency: Up to 93% energy conversion minimizes heat and waste, extending battery life on long trips.
- Rugged Build: Anodized aluminum and polycarbonate enclosure rated IP53 for dust, water, and impact resistance.
- Easy Monitoring: Green LED indicates output status at a glance.
- Backed by Warranty: Two years of coverage for peace of mind.
Perfect Applications Across Marine, RV, and Mobile Power Systems
Whether you're outfitting a fishing boat, upgrading an overland rig, or powering industrial tools from a truck battery, this converter shines:
- Marine Vessels: Run 24V bow thrusters, autopilots, or sonar without dual-battery complexity.
- RVs and Campers: Support inverters, lifts, or high-draw appliances from house batteries.
- Off-Road Vehicles: Power GPS, lights, or compressors reliably during extended adventures.
- Custom Builds: Ideal for solar setups or auxiliary systems needing clean 24V power.
Its non-isolated design with common ground simplifies wiring in negative-ground systems, reducing installation time and potential issues.

All ratings based on continuous 24-hour duty cycles. Front-panel terminals make connections straightforward.
Simple Installation and Pro Tips for Optimal Performance
- Mount Securely: Choose a dry, ventilated spot away from engine heat. Use the compact C-1 footprint to save space.
- Wire Properly: Connect input to a fused 12V source (min 10AWG wire). Output to load (8AWG recommended for full 7A).
- Ground Common: Non-isolated setup shares negative—tie both to chassis ground.
- Ventilate: Ensure airflow; fan not required but derating applies above 30°C.
- Test Output: Verify 27.2V with multimeter; green LED confirms operation.
Tip: Pair with a battery isolator for alternator charging to prevent deep discharges. Avoid exceeding continuous ratings to maximize lifespan.
Why Choose the 7A Model? Quick Size Guide
For lighter loads like instruments or small motors, the 7A version offers the best balance of power and compactness. Need more? Step up to 16A for thrusters or 25A for heavy winches—all share the same reliable non-isolated platform.
| Model | Continuous Amps | Case Size | Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12-24-7 | 7 | C-1 | 1.4 |
| 12-24-16 | 16 | C-2 | 3.55 |
| 12-24-25 | 25 | C-3 | 4.1 |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this converter handle low battery voltages?
Yes, it accepts inputs from 10-15VDC, making it forgiving with aging batteries or varying alternator output.
Is it suitable for marine environments?
Absolutely—IP53 rating protects against splashes and dust, common in boating setups.
What's the difference between isolated and non-isolated?
Non-isolated shares a common ground, simpler for most 12V-to-24V upgrades without galvanic isolation needs.
Does it require cooling?
Passive cooling suffices; thermal shutdown prevents damage if ventilation is limited.
How do I know it's working?
A green LED lights up when output is active—quick visual confirmation.
Can it power intermittent high loads?
Rated for 7A continuous and short bursts, with current limiting for safety.
