Installation, setup and tips

Basic hookup

• Connect the input source (battery, USB, or solar) to the module input pins, observing polarity.
• Use a multimeter to monitor output voltage while adjusting the onboard potentiometer to the desired output.
• Confirm the module can supply the required current for your load; add a heatsink or improve airflow if running at higher currents for extended periods.

Design and safety tips

• Do not exceed the modules rated input or output limits; check the specific model datasheet when available.
• Provide proper decoupling capacitors near the load when powering sensitive electronics.
• Observe polarity and fuse the input when connecting batteries to prevent damage from reverse polarity or short-circuits.

Frequently asked questions

Can this module take a single-cell Li-ion battery as input?

Yes. With a typical input range starting around 2V, a single-cell Li-ion (nominal 3.7V) or other battery chemistries are commonly used as input sources. Always confirm the specific modules minimum input voltage and expected current handling.

Will the module work with a solar panel?

Yes. The module can be used in small solar-powered systems. Because solar panels vary in voltage with light level, pairing the converter with appropriate energy storage (battery) or control circuitry is recommended for stable operation.
