Default voltage boost for 3S

I need to use my SH Design Lipo field charger from now on for 3S packs that means that I have to feed the system with 16-18v and my car`s batt only delivers 12v
there is a way to boost the voltage?

Daniel: A regulated voltage booster would probally cost more than a new field
charger. Air-tec and E-tec make field chargers with a built in booster so you can
put in 12 volts DC and the chargers will charge 3 cell Lipo's. Hitec just released
a 12 volt charger that will charge up to a 5 cell pack. Check the manufacturers
specs for input and output voltage.

I`m afraid you`re right... but I think that it may not be difficult to do for someone with electronics knowledge... or not?
