Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (SCP-35-12); Current 2.6 A (SCP-35-12); Power 35 W (SCP-35-12); In test 50 W (SCP-35-12); Under load 5.21 V (QC 3.0 charger); Ripple 200 mV (QC 3.0 charger).

SCP-35-12: It works well as a charger, but is not recommended with a lead-acid battery unless discharge protection is added.

QC 3.0 charger: It delivers the rated current and regulates voltage well, but overheats and has high ripple at 5 V.
