Re: Stepping-up Voltage

7.2 + 7.2 = 14.4
Use your batteries in series
or series parallel

Hi there,

I'm looking to build an adaptor to enable me to use my 7.2V batteries
(6AH Li-ion) to power 12V devices. The batteries are more than capable
than outputting the required current, if I can convert the voltage.
What is the easiest way to achieve this ...?

I've noted the existance of these components:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=5501&&source=14&doy=7m8

I'm not familar with them- but is this the kind of component that I
would have to use?

Any help and guidance would be appreciated, as I've been struggling to
find helpful information (perhaps I'm searching for the wrong terms!).
