Well,
We all currently have two practical options as I see it. We can either run 12volt from a battery, or ~14volt from the battery if the alternator is running.
What about 16volts? Thats good for one more cell isn't it? Well, you can step up your 12Volt battery to 16Volts using this.

Bad side? It mainly used for boosting ignition systems and only supports "5-10 amps output (85%) ".
So, would an extra cell make up for a loss of 20 amps? (assuming we run are generators at 30amps which I plan on doing). Probably not, but for those who want to run a Hydrogen Generator on a motorcycle or some other small vehicle that can't handle too many amps I think it'd be perfect.
8 Cells running at 10 amps vs. 7 cells running at 30 amps. For a small alternator vehicle, I'd say the 8 cell 10 amps wins.
