What is your current requirement for the 20V application?Nikhil N said:
I just read this again. What could you possibly mean by that requirement? Even a Human needs to read the rating on the side of equipment in order to know what supply voltage it should be provided with. This would truly be Machine IntelligenceNikhil N said:
I was thinking the same thing. I built a little power supply box for my telescope that can take an ac (to dc psu) or direct dc input and provides 12VDV out for the telescope and 5VDC out for a USB hub: a simple double-throw toggle switch selects the active input and a voltage converter like the one linked takes 12V down to 5V for the hub. The trick was that "12V" isn't 12V, so i had an additional one for that.sophiecentaur said:I just read this again. What could you possibly mean by that requirement?

Yes. And still manual.sophiecentaur said:
I have that too; and with different style plugs so I can't mix them up.Perhaps the easiest way would be to have two different plugs and sockets, one for each voltage so the 20V system couldn't access the 40V supply and vice versa. That's so simple that I have only just thought of it.
Current required is 1.5Aberkeman said:
So at 30W output, you should be using a Buck DC-DC voltage regulator. You can probably find one off-the-shelf that will do what you want.Nikhil N said:

To choose the correct voltage level for your battery, you will need to consider the voltage requirements of the device or circuit you are powering. This information can usually be found in the device's user manual or specifications. It is important to match the voltage of the battery to the voltage requirements of the device to avoid damage or malfunction.
Most electronic devices and circuits operate within a voltage range of 3-12 volts. However, it is important to check the specific voltage requirements of your device, as some may require higher or lower voltages.
No, it is not recommended to use a battery with a higher voltage than what your device requires. This can cause damage to the device or even pose a safety hazard. Always use a battery with the exact voltage or a slightly lower voltage than what is required by your device.
If you use a battery with a lower voltage than what your device requires, it may not provide enough power to properly operate the device. This can cause the device to malfunction or not work at all. It is important to use a battery with the correct voltage to ensure proper functioning of your device.
Yes, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing the voltage level from a battery. These include the type of battery (e.g. alkaline, lithium-ion), the capacity of the battery, and the temperature at which the battery will be used. It is important to consult the battery's specifications and guidelines to ensure you are using the correct voltage for optimal performance and safety.
