Very pleased
Works exactly as expected, good quality, currently in operation and just doing what it's supposed to be doing. 5v USB power supply

Car Cam works good now
I would not always remember to plug or unplug the car cam. Now car starts-cams on, remove key-cams off, plus this is much better power supply than the one that came with the car cam. It eliminated 100% of the issues I was having with the cam when using the supplied USB cigarette power supply. It was so bad I was about to order another car cam. Another plus I received an email from Casey from Binzet today saying any problems let him know 24/7.So far Great product at a good price. I would buy again and highly recommend.

Worked well until a lightning strike.
I have this running a series of sensors, a weather station and some other 5 volt electronics, it worked great for 2 years, but did not survive a lightning strike to the fence besides my house, lucky for me all the electronics did survive.I can't remove a star for death by lightning.

Hasn't failed me yet near max load, and with abuse!
I must say I am quite impressed with these things. They are very efficient (little to no heat) and have a very stable voltage even with variable and high current. I have the 5v 15A version and am pulling ~13 A from it max right now with no voltage drops from the regulator.And although its only been a few months, I am very impressed. I have given these things more than enough reason to go out on me in this short time, yet they not only continue to work, seemingly unharmed, but even saved everything downstream from them.So what did I do? I used the same type of cable for both my 5v and 20v runs. I....managed to mistakenly plug in 1 end of a 5v light strand into the 20v wire, while the other end was plugged into the 5v. Thus feeding my lights and this regulator's 5v line with 20v. Only the short 1m strip of light between the 20v v+ and 5v+ was harmed, the other 20 meters which were connected to it in the other direction were fine, and didn't even react to the mistake (the 1m I killed went full white due to overvolt). Actually, the last 5 lights of that 1m still work fine (color changing and all), so I think the regulator managed to successfully sink the voltage down to near the 5.24V it normally operates at.I probably hurt their lifetime, but this thing and 100$ worth of lights that should have been instantly fried are still working like a champ!(And I really deserved to have everything fried. I plugged in my miss-wired devices 3 times trying to diagnose the issue. And the last time I removed the fuse I had on the 20v+ and let it run for 5 seconds)If you do notice a voltage drop, ensure it is not due to incorrect wire size by measuring voltage at the regulator. If the regulator is not supplying a steady voltage, you may need to check your power source. Even if your psu is rated for a higher voltage and current than you should need, it might not actually provides both at the same time. If your 20v supply drops to 6v when pulling high current there isn't anything this thing can do.And to any other amateurs considering using multiple of these to power a long light strip, be sure not to connect VCC of your lights to multiple regulators/power supplies. You can plug everything in like normal, but cut the VCC half way between the 2 regulators or power supplies. This will ensure each regulator is actually powering the lights their intended to, and ensures that the some devices will power off if a power supply or regulator dies instead of overworking other power sources. And, additionally, largely reduces the risk from an accidental overvolt.

Inexpensive, simple to wire and use, fits in a relatively compact area.
Haven’t permanently plugged it into my project yet, but upon mock-up, it appears to work well for what I need. This product is being used on a custom RC vehicle to step down 12VDC battery power to power a few low current 5VDC devices. Total load will be less than 3A.

Super Reliable
First bought this back in November of 2020 to step down 12V to 5V for a dash cam in a TC vehicle. After heavy use and extreme temperature changes every season, it's still in-service today (3/31/25). Highly recommend. I'm now purchasing another for a project using mostly 12V, it will step down to 5V to power some Arduino-controlled relays.

A Good Value - works well can perform below rated input voltage.
I bench tested this item to determine its specs. For a 12V input across a 3 Amp current draw with 1.5A nominal I get a load regulation of 3.6%. Voltage did not go below 4.9V unit drawing over 2.5 Amps. I was also able to draw 2 amps and keep output voltage above 4.9V with input voltages of 6V to 24V. During peak and overload current draw the regulator stayed cool to the touch.I bough this to operate an Ooma Telo from a 12V battery backup. This is to keep my VoIP system running during a power failure. I am very confident that this regulator will work for my intended application

Very handy
This 24 volt to 12 volt converter was perfect for adding a bunch of 12 volt LED's to a Razor Pocket Mod scooter. Rather than grounding the lights between the two batteries and causing an unbalanced load draw, I was able to use the full 24 volt supply. This ensures both batteries see equal drain and avoids a reverse bias on the lights when the power is off.The converter is very small and easy to mount with double sided foam tape. All internal components are potted and well protected from vibration and moisture. The output voltage stayed at a solid 11.8 volts despite a varying input during acceleration or low charge. The kids couldn't be happier with the lights and the reliable mystery box that makes them work.
