I have a 16V battery, how can I lower it to 12V?

Question

Electronics

I have a 16V battery, how can I lower it to 12V? Resistors overheat. Two motors will be connected.

Answer 1

google step down voltage converter

Answer 2

Connect the bulbs in series before the motor)

Answer 3

And the motors don't care - 16V or 12V? Well, it will spin a little faster.
Is 16V nominal or what voltage? How many volts does a charged, half-discharged and fully discharged battery actually have? Maybe nothing needs to be done?

Answer 4

A zener diode (12.6 V) resistor and an emitter follower from a powerful n-p-n bipolar transistor, but this is a terrible homemade.
Better, of course, on some converters, yes.
