Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (ZC822); Power 27 W (ZC822); Under load 12 V (ZC822); Efficiency 95.5 % (RD6012P(W)); Protection 2.4 A (ZC822); Price 5.45 $ (ZC822).

RD6012P(W): A capable high-power converter, but range switching is awkward, it heats up considerably, and voltage measurement can glitch.

ZC822: An inexpensive board with broad protocol support, but output power is limited to 27 W.
