    I am using two of the “DROK 600W 12A DC Boost Voltage Converter 12-60V to 12-80V Step-up Power Supply Transformer Module Regulator Controller Constant Volt/Amp Car”
    (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E8D7XYG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
    I have a heavy wire going from the car battery, through a 30AMP fuse, then to a 30AMP switch and then to these two modules. I have the outputs going to drone batteries to charge them. I’ve set the output voltage to 26 Volts on each and the output current to 6 AMPS each. The problem is that my 10 AWG 5′ long wire is getting hot and my 30AMP fuse is melting and blowing.

    Have I calculated it correctly?
    Input current = output power / efficiency factor / input voltage
    Input current = 2modules*(26V * 6A) / 0.95% / 12V = 27.4 Amps

    I’ve even had problems at 5AMP output.

    Also, I set the output voltage to 26.0 volts but when I connect the battery it drops to 24 volts.

    Dear customer,
    The Max input current for this item is 16A. If it is over 10A, you need to enhance heat dissipation
    And the Max output current is 12A. It also need heat dissipation if over 10A.
    Best regards.
