Does anyone have experience with this type/brand of step up 5v converter? I'm comparing it to the Pololu one here: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/798 which is slightly more expensive, and then you get hit with shipping costs (for me it's about the same price as buying a second module).
Comparison:
Pololu 5v step up ($5.45 + SHIPPING)
-0.8 to 5v input @ 2.5% accuracy
-8.4 x 12.7 x 3.8 mm (0.33" x 0.50" x 0.15") small size
-40mV ripple peak @ low voltage (150mV at 5v input)
-200mA output
-Comes with male headers (straight and angle)
No-name eBay brand ($4.74 + FREE SHIPPING)
-0.9 to 5v input @ unknown accuracy
-25 x 18.5 x 5.5 mm - bigger size
-50mV ripple peak max(!)
-1000mA output(!)
Any thoughts?
