Just making sure I'm reading this right, it's a 12VDC input, and 12VDC output? So like... you need a copper wire. Maybe two. :dunno:
I think it would be helpful to know what the actual input thing is, even if you don't want to tell us the output thing. A solar charge controller comes to mind because while a solar panel output might be normally 12VDC, it's really up to 18V+. And the battery it charges really wants like ~13.5V, so it does that and monitors battery voltage until it's full (via temperature, voltage around 12.8V, or both). Or maybe you just need a voltage regulator? How efficient do you want/need it to be?
