Review on πŸ’‘ [2-Pack] Adjustable XL6009 DC-DC Buck Boost Converter for Automatic Wide Voltage Regulation: Convert DC 5-32 V to 1.25-35 V Efficiently with Voltage Module by Julius Lito

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works but overheats and dies

Works? Yes. Is that the whole truth? no It works - for a while. Unfortunately, ICs need a heatsink if you intend to use them for more than a week. In a way this is obvious - this is not a design flaw - this is what buck-boost converters do. But they must be sold with a heatsink or else they will just die after 40 hours (total, not continuous) of operation.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Vulgarity
