I use the Boost-Regulator for my transceivers, set for 14.1V because of
the lead lengths to the load breaker panel and from there to the
connected devices.  The input to the regulator is normally 13.8V from a
supposedly-regulated AC power supply and float battery arrangement.

That's one source. I use the local marine supply company store -
marine-grade wire is far more flexible than standard "stranded" wire or
"zip cord"..

Adapters are available.
