Only in one review: Current 8 A (5 V 8 A voltage converter with four USB outputs); In test 40 W (IP6518 board); Under load 20 V (IP6518 board); Ripple 180 mV (5 V 8 A voltage converter with four USB outputs); Protection 8 A (5 V 8 A voltage converter with four USB outputs); Price 3.77 $ (IP6518 board).

IP6518 board: The board supports QC 20 V but delivered about 40 W in testing; tests were cut short after an accidental short circuit.

5 V 8 A voltage converter with four USB outputs: The converter impressed with its protections, stability, and build, though ripple is rather high.
