Only in one review: Voltage 5.3 V (MP2225 converter); Current 4 A (MP2225 converter); Protection 4.5 A (MP2225 converter).

WZ5005: Good efficiency and low ripple, but the converter is underdeveloped, with dangerous voltage spikes and other issues.

MP2225 converter: The compact board meets its stated specs, but sustains 4 A only briefly and heats up noticeably under prolonged load.
