Works great in harsh environments.

I mounted it on the underside of my off-road electric motorcycle to maintain the 8 amp supply at all times. The wires are even held firmly in place by screws, and the tension hasn't changed through all the jumping, bumpy off-road riding, etc. I had to cover the top to prevent a lot of dirt and water from going straight into the unit. away from my front wheel, so I decided to epoxidize the extra heatsink I had on top of the heatsinks already installed on the unit. I ordered arctic alumina thermal adhesive to easily bond them together. when sitting on a table without good air circulation. It doesn't heat up or even get warm on the bottom of my bike, likely due to the airflow and possibly the extra heatsink I added. If you really plan on running this thing at high currents, I would epoxidize the extra heatsink. as recommended in the description. But of course test beforehand and see how hot it is to see what you need.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Functionality
