one of my TV's had a sticker saying NOTHING over 12v, so I put a switching boost regulator on it's power lead so that it never gets above 12, another bonus is if the battery drops below 12, the regulator can keep the TV on, it can keep it on all the way down to 1.5V, not really needed but a cute feature. You could also use a buck regulator and set it for 10v output(most of the TV's will still work here) and as long as your battery stays above 11v your tv will stay on, much easier design than using a floating node boost regulator like I did.


yeah I'm a nerd, so what :fawk:
