Found this device on eBay, and wondering if it is suitable for use on the brownout bus on Z101? 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WaterProof-DC-DC-12V-to-14V-10A-140W-STEP-UP-Power-Converter-Regulator-DC/391330544024?hash=item5b1d1e3998:g:0ssAAOSw7FRWVx3p 
There are very similar looking 12v-to-12v versions, but they are twice the price. Not sure why.

Might work, but note that minimum input voltage is 10V (not uncommon for starting voltage to sag lower than that), and 'soft start' is a half second; might be too slow to prevent the brownout issue.

Can someone please provide a link to a brownout booster that would be suitable for the Z101 brownout bus? I'm having trouble finding one that appears suitable, possibly because I don't really know what I should be looking for. 

Thanks,
David

What are your brownout bus loads?

eBay item 222626498012 claims to work with as little as 3 volts input.
eBay item 224017421193 claims to work with as little as 8.5 volts input.
The descriptions are written in broken English. Example:
(please to ensure that output voltage above on input voltage)
You could experiment with more than one type until you find one that works.
A separate DC-DC booster could even be installed for each protected load.
