Review on πŸ”Œ SMAKN 30W/5A DC Volt Converter Auto Boost Buck Solar Charger 5-30V to 6-50V 12V Battery Regulator with Enhanced SEO by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The device does not match the description - it is just a step-up converter

Attention! This device is not a boost/buck device as advertised - it is a boost device only (the output voltage is always equal to or greater than the input voltage). At the time of my order, this unit was labeled as a boost converter, which means the output voltage can be higher or lower than the input voltage depending on configuration. tested with each load as my needs required a device that would step up and step down the voltage simultaneously (I need a fixed output voltage regardless of the input). It also turned out that an input voltage of at least 6.5V is required to turn it on, which deviates slightly from the specified minimum input voltage of 5V. I haven't tested what the output voltage will be, I need a strictly fixed output of 12V. Info for future readers if this product gets a hardware release below: This review is for a product received on June 19th, 2017 is of purchase (I know it doesn't help much in identifying the product, but that's all I can offer).

Pros
  • Power: 30W / 50W (MAX)
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
