Review on πŸ”Œ XL6009 XL6009E1 Boost Converter Module - DC-DC 3.0-30V to 5-35V Output Voltage Adjustable Step-up Converter Board Module (5pcs) - Enhanced SEO by Danny Zapata

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work well for boosting from 4.2 volts to 5.75 volts.

The XL6009 boost converters are advertised as having an input range of 3.0-30VDC to an output range of 5-35VDC, but they do not work due to overheating and/or intermittent (flashing) output . I tried using them to step up the voltage from 4.2 volts to 5.75 volts to use low voltage LED strips. With one module it overheats in seconds so I unplugged it and tried it with 3 modules in parallel and still had issues with overheating and LED strips flashing after 30 seconds. flashed after about 30 seconds.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • So far so good
