My Kendrick "smart" Dew Controller "DigiFire 10" likes to work at 13.2 volts, and works fine when using my Radio Shack 110V, 3 amp, 12V power supply, which supplies a steady 13.2 volts.
However for field use, my dedicated 80 amp hr. 12V gel battery generally operates at around 12.8 volts and the Dew Controller flashes "Low Current Warning" and won't supply power to the heater coils when drawing 12.8 volts.
Can I use something like the Lacey 12 volt to 18 volt converter or a similar light weight unit that boosts battery current voltage to over 13V? Any link to any type voltage booster that operates off a standard car battery, would be appreciated.
I've tried using the 3 amp inverter I use with my computer, between the battery and the Dew Controller, and the Kendrick wouldn't work at all with that. (I'm using six heater coils on the "DigiFire 10.")
