Our Review
After integrating the Mingzhu XL6009 DC-DC Step Up Step Down Boost Buck Power Supply Module 3.8-32V to 1.25-35V Voltage Regulator Converter into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Type: Step-Down (Buck), Input Voltage: 2-24V, Output Voltage: 5V fixed.
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.
Overall, the Mingzhu XL6009 DC-DC Step Up Step Down Boost Buck Power Supply Module 3.8-32V to 1.25-35V Voltage Regulator Converter fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
What We Like
- High efficiency minimizes heat waste
- LED indicators show power and charging status
- Screw terminals accept a range of wire gauges
- Built-in protection circuits prevent damage
Watch Out For
- Battery capacity degrades after hundreds of charge cycles
- Electrolytic capacitors age and degrade over years
- No reverse polarity protection on input
