Combining currents of different voltages

Hi, I would like to know how to combine dc currents of different voltages. I want to keep maximum voltage and current.
I would like a circuit diagram if possible, or just some tips would be fine.
The closest I circuit diagram I can find is charge controller, but don't think you can combine currents of different voltages.
Help appreciated.
 
This is possible with the use of a quality and regulated 12V supply that is capable of sourcing more than the total volts of all your devices combined. To be safe, you have to have at least 30% more than the total power drawn by a device. You can check the manuals of each device to be sure. You can also use an SMPS if you require higher current draws. Hope this helps. -N.B.

Perhaps you should try reading the thread dates? - it's over two years ago, and the poster hasn't been back since.
