Only in one review: Power 36 W (5 V 7.2 A 36 W power supply); Under load 4.99 V (5 V 7.2 A 36 W power supply); Ripple 70 mV (24 V 2 A power supply, adapter (with filter)); Protection 2.8 A (24 V 2 A power supply, adapter (with filter)); Weight 133 g (5 V 7.2 A 36 W power supply).

24 V 2 A power supply, adapter (with filter): Suitable for about 1.5 A continuous; above that the output diode assembly overheats, and the protection threshold is too high.

5 V 7.2 A 36 W power supply: It regulates voltage well, but the overheating inductor and undersized capacitors call for modifications.
