Marine DC-DC step-up converter

12V to 48V DC-DC Converter

Modern hybrid boats increasingly run on 48V systems. When the onboard source remains 12V, a reliable step-up booster is needed to deliver stable 48V power for modern marine equipment.

This converter boosts a 12V battery input to regulated 48V DC in a compact, waterproof, marine-ready format. It is designed for clean integration into hybrid boats, onboard electronics, network equipment, and other 48V marine installations where stability and efficiency matter.

The model to put forward is the 10A / 560W version. It is the most powerful version in the range and the strongest choice for installations that need more capacity, more reserve, and more confidence than entry-level converters can offer.

Up to 560W IP68 waterproof Stable 48V output Built for hybrid boats Compact aluminum housing

Made for Modern 48V Hybrid Boats

As 48V becomes standard across modern hybrid and electric boat architecture, a step-up converter becomes essential whenever part of the system still relies on 12V. This unit gives you a practical and efficient bridge between those two voltage levels without rebuilding the entire electrical installation.

The 560W model should lead the page, the images, and the ads. It instantly positions the product as a serious marine power solution, not a small accessory converter.

Key Features

IP68 Waterproof Protection
Fully sealed against water and dust for harsh marine environments and exposed onboard installations.
Wide 10V-16V Input Range
Works reliably across typical 12V battery variations during charging, discharge, and engine operation.
Stable 48V DC Output
Regulated output helps power sensitive electronics and connected equipment with confidence.
High-Efficiency Conversion
Designed to reduce unnecessary loss and heat in compact marine spaces.
Built-In Protection Functions
Includes overload, overheat, and overvoltage protection for safer operation.
Marine-Grade Aluminum Housing
Supports durability, heat dissipation, and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Best Applications

Hybrid boat electrical systems

Add stable 48V power to an existing 12V setup without a full electrical rebuild.

Starlink and 48V PoE equipment

Power compatible routers, antennas, access points, switches, and connected network devices.

Onboard electronics

Support marine communication, networking, and control systems that require regulated 48V DC.

Higher-demand 48V loads

The 560W version gives more reserve for installations where smaller converters are not enough.

Simple Wiring

  • 🔴 Red: Positive input (12V +)
  • Black: Negative input (12V - / ground)
  • Black: Negative output (48V -)
  • 🟡 Yellow: Positive output (48V +)
  1. This is a 12V to 48V DC-DC step-up converter for powering compatible 48V equipment from a 12V source.
  2. It is not a battery charger for 48V battery banks.
  3. Please confirm that your device accepts 48V DC input before installation.
  4. For more demanding systems, the 10A / 560W model is the recommended choice.
