Review conclusionWith reservationsWith reservations

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (AD-12-2A); Ripple 250 mV (AD-12-2A); Efficiency 76 % (AD-12-2A); No load 0.5 W (AD-12-2A).

AD-12-2A: It can run continuously at 2 A, but the output diode gets hot; the author recommends 1.7–1.8 A instead.

BBP-30: The repaired UPS works, but delivers less than its rated power, overheats, and has other shortcomings.

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.
