Slightly related...
When cars were all 6 volts (I'm not quite old enough to remember when
that was common) the wiring would get a little old, headlights would get
dim, and you could fix that by installing an 8 volt battery and
adjusting the voltage regulator so it'd charge.
I mention this, because I saw that Costco has 8 volt lead-acid batteries
from Interstate Batteries.
An 8 volt and a 6 volt will give you 14 volts, and no boosters necessary.

The TGE battery booster I use with my rig on the boat has a BNC for RF
sense to turn on the boost only during transmit, which is the only time is
needed. Works well for me.

of those battery booster things that MFJ and probably others sell to keep
the output up.
Have you tried one? The technology of these devices is usually noisy.
