Ensure your sensitive marine electronics receive the proper voltage they need with the Newmar 12-12-3i Power Stabilizer. This advanced stabilizing converter provides a continuous, precisely regulated output across the entire range of a battery’s usable voltage. It prevents voltage fluctuations that can cause shutdowns, reduced performance, and potential damage to sensitive circuitry. Ideal for marine applications, the 12-12-3i guarantees optimal performance for your communication and navigation devices.

Key Features and Benefits

The Newmar 12-12-3i Power Stabilizer is designed to offer robust and reliable power stabilization. Here’s why it’s an essential component for your marine electronics:

• Consistent Voltage Output: Maintains a stable output voltage regardless of battery condition.
• Noise Isolation: Virtually eliminates conducted line noise, allowing the connection of negative ground gear to positive or floating ground systems.
• Versatile Usage: Can be modified for use as a battery charger, maintaining a battery far from the primary voltage source and providing reserve power if the main source fails.
• Rugged Construction: Housed in a durable anodized aluminum case, perfect for the harsh marine environment.

Application Benefits

• Optimal Voltage Operation: Ensures electronics operate at optimal input voltage, even from nearly drained batteries.
• Voltage Boost: Compensates for voltage drops in long wire runs from batteries.
• Stable Performance: Eliminates voltage drops during momentary high current drains, such as during engine starts.
• Fluctuation Elimination: Prevents voltage fluctuation from charge sources and voltage overshoot due to sudden removal of high current loads.
