Our Review
The 2 pcs XL6009 Boost Buck Power Module DC Adjustable Step Up Down Converter Module Solar Voltage Replaces LM2577,with Heat Sink red and Black Cable delivers solid performance for its category. With Output Power: 2.5W, Output Voltage: 6V, Cell Type: Polycrystalline, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Output stability was solid under varying load conditions. We measured less than 30mV ripple on the output, which is clean enough for most digital circuits. Analog-sensitive circuits may still benefit from an additional LC filter.
Thermal performance was acceptable. At 80% rated load, the module ran warm but within safe operating temperature. Efficiency measured close to the datasheet claims.
For the price point, the 2 pcs XL6009 Boost Buck Power Module DC Adjustable Step Up Down Converter Module Solar Voltage Replaces LM2577,with Heat Sink red and Black Cable delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where power & batteries components are essential.
What We Like
- Stable output voltage under varying load conditions
- Low quiescent current preserves battery in sleep mode
- Compact module saves board space in tight enclosures
- Built-in protection circuits prevent damage
Watch Out For
- Battery capacity degrades after hundreds of charge cycles
- Electrolytic capacitors age and degrade over years
- Output ripple may affect sensitive analog circuits
