We are completing a college project and need to charge 8 smart phones simultaneously. We have a 36-volt battery and believe we need 5 volts and about 10 amps of power. Any suggestions, however broad, on how we might do this and what converter we might need? Thanks in Advance. |

10 amps per smart phone or 10 amps total for all 8 ? |

It's clearly 2A per phone, so 10A total. |

If your project doesn't require building the DC-DC converter for charging phones and you don't want to build one, the quickest and easiest way is to buy a step-down converter module like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y7YB14L/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07Y7YB14Lp13NParams&s=electronics&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1 |
