How to use it to increase voltage from solar panel.

Also known as buck converter, adjustable output voltage. up to 15V direct voltage. I used it to see if I could boost it enough to charge a 12vdc power bank. For example, use it to boost the voltage of a solar panel with an output voltage of only 5VDC, boost a 2A power supply to 12VDC, detect and start charging, and also feel very cold. Plugged it into 12V DC car LEDs, saw them draw about 3 amps and it heated up quickly. Connected to a 25 watt grow LED strip, it didn't get hot, but it didn't emit light at full brightness either. All of these tests were tested with a 5000mAh AC adapter for about 10 minutes.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Functionality
