Our PST-P006-Universal power supply will meet your requirements, your cost for 1 unit is $48.375 each for 1-10 units.

I mailed off a question to them as well, and their reply follows. On our boat, there are two batteries: the engine and house batteries, so I might not worry too much about a voltage drop as long as I don't start the engine using the Both setting on the battery switch, but with one battery I might be nervous. Best thing may just be not to leave the Mac running when you're about to start the engine. At this point, I'm sticking with an DC-->AC inverter for the time being.

It is 4.55 amps.
It will not pass spikes, but may drop out if the voltage drops too low.

Dear Sirs,
Perhaps I could have a little more info on the
PST-P006-Universal
Input 11 15 Volts
Output Vout 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21 Volts slide switch selectable
Output Iout 6 Amps to 4.3 Amps depending on voltage selection
What is the amps out at 18 VDC please?
Also, if using this on a boat, for example, is the output stabilized or regulated so that voltage drop on the 12 VDC (on engine cranking, for example) won't cause a spike on the output side?
I'd be using it on a computer (Apple Mac mini [18.5 VDC @ 4.5 A] ) and would be concerned about spikes as I am not sure about how tolerant such machines are of spikes or voltage drops.
