I have a couple of projects in mind that require the use of a buck boost converter.
Granted possibly an unanswerable question.
Can these things fail High? if so how high?
How long is a piece of string?

One is a MPPT charger that requires more than 13.4V but a Max of 16V.
Its not a cheap charger and you would like to think it was smart enough to look after itself over 16V, but I'm not so sure. Given that it is only about 6 months old yet appears to not play well with smart alternators.

The other uses 12VDC but says a 12V car battery is ok as long as the car isn't running. A 12V buck boost would mean I could trickle charge at the same time.
