## Description

This is an industrial grade DC Buck-Boost converter that inputs 8V to 36V and outputs 12V up to 6A or 72W. With plenty of heatsinking and protection, this DC block is perfect for battery applications (such as SLAs or LFPs) that need to power a steady load (such as 12V router and WiFi equipment) even while the input is varying (battery charge/discharge). 94.2% efficiency makes this a good, plug and play, DC Step-Up/Down solution.
