Only in one review: Voltage 30 V (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); Current 12 A (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); Power 100 W (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); In test 150 W (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); Under load 41 V (35 V 5 A Linear Adjustable Power Supply Kit); Weight 175 g (35 V 5 A Linear Adjustable Power Supply Kit); Price 8.64 $ (35 V 5 A Linear Adjustable Power Supply Kit).
XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A: Delivers up to 10 A with low ripple, but gets quite hot and has poor build quality; the 20 A version is a better buy.
35 V 5 A Linear Adjustable Power Supply Kit: The kit assembled easily and delivered 41 V at 5 A, but ripple is notable and some components need improvement.
