Need 6v to 12v Conversion Info. 444-544

Hi Bill,
A resistor is a pretty wasteful way of dropping voltage, you might be better off trying to get hold of a step-down DC-DC converter (possibly available from electronics shops; I don't know much about car electrics so I don't really know where to get one with the necessary power rating). This will be a lot more efficient; you'll be able to set up 6V to supply everything that needs it rather than messing around making a potential divider.

Sorry I can't be more specific about where to get such a thing!

Brad
