The data sheet of the SP29500 says the dropout voltage at 5 amp is just 370mV. That is pretty good, isn't it? If I go this route, are there any other factors I need to consider? Would a fuse be best inserted on the input side or the output side of the regulator, as there is a bat. negative terminal on the regulator. Perhaps a fuse each side?
Lastly, the boat's engine is diesel so there to my knowledge there should be no ignition suppression. However it does have an alternator. Does that change things?
Thanks again.
