Max output varies with manufacturing processes.

Ambient temperatures higher than room temperature will decrease the amount of current AnyVolt3
can handle. For optimal performance, mount AnyVolt3 in an open space with air flowing across it.
Adjusting the output voltage
With the adjustment screw facing you, turning it clockwise increases the voltage, similar to the
volume control on a stereo system.
Current limits
Input and output current to/from the AnyVolt3 should be kept track of with a multimeter if you
anticipate driving heavy loads.
Stepping up from a lower to a higher voltage means that there will be a higher current on the input
than the output. For this reason, ensure that both the input and output current limits of 3A
aren’t being exceeded. If for some reason you cannot use a multimeter to monitor input current,
you can implicitly derive the input current using the input voltage, output voltage, and output
current.
