Very suitable for charging lithium batteries.

That's a great little thing. It converts a current source that would otherwise shut down into a regulated current source with a voltage limiter. This is exactly what I need to charge a lithium battery. It has trimmers for adjusting current and voltage and even a tiny on/off switch. You must be careful when tightening the input and output screws as the terminal blocks are not well secured to the board. I installed it by screwing two self-tapping screws into one of the electrically isolated heatsinks instead of using the PCB mounting holes. I also added an opto-isolator in parallel with the switch to allow for remote shutdown. However, it is a bit unstable and needs some tension for headroom. Also note the 300W limit.

Pros

The step-down module has 2 heatsinks, which can improve heat dissipation. If there is a big difference between input and output voltage, reduce the power and current.

Cons
