Review conclusionRecommendedNot recommended

Only in one review: Ripple 100 mV (5 V UPS); Temperature rise 78 °C (5 V UPS); Price 1.17 $ (5 V UPS).

USB DC-DC board, type one: Type one handles more current, runs cooler and has less ripple; the author explicitly recommends it.

5 V UPS: It is cheap and handles the rated current, but the author was disappointed by the large voltage drop when switching to battery.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
