Hi!
I was wondering if you can suggest any decent DC-DC step-up converter that would actually withstand 100W output? My intention is to convert 12V to 23-24V and feed it to 100W consumer. I got myself 150W step-up module that according to specs should withstand 150W or 6 Amp at output (when you google it, the one with red board and 35V capacitors should come up - not wanting to link e-bay here). However, at around 90W it just melted down. So I returned it to local store and they replaced mosfet and when I got it back, capacitor exploded when I powered it up with no load (anyone can guess what it could be?). I returned it to shop, they gave me money back and suggested 200W step-up. But when I googled it, reviews quickly sow that 60W load can kill it in few minutes.
I was wondering if any of you guy have used step-up converters in your DIY projects and if you know by experience what are the good ones? Or is the only way to get something good to build it myself?
