Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use the XL6019 to power an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Yes! You can step up a 3.7V or 5V battery to 9V or 12V for Arduino, or to 5V for Raspberry Pi via the USB input.

2. How do I adjust the output voltage?

Turn the potentiometer (small screw on the board) clockwise to increase voltage and counterclockwise to decrease voltage. Use a multimeter to check the exact output.

3. What is the maximum current output?

The module can deliver up to 5A peak, but for stable operation, it’s recommended to use it at 3A continuous. For higher currents, add a heatsink.

4. Can I use this module with a solar panel?

Yes! It’s perfect for solar power systems, stepping up low solar voltages to a usable level for batteries, LED lighting, and off-grid electronics.

5. Does the XL6019 module have short-circuit protection?

It includes overcurrent and thermal protection, but it’s recommended to add a fuse for additional safety in high-power applications.
